General Quotes

“Our Revolution commenced on more favorable ground. It presented us an album on which we were free to write what we pleased. We had no occasion to search into musty records, to hunt up royal parchments, or to investigate the laws and institutions of a semi-barbarous ancestry. We appealed to those of nature, and found them engraved on our hearts. Yet we did not avail ourselves of all the advantages of our position. We had never been permitted to exercise self-government. When forced to assume it, we were novices in its science. Its principles and forms had entered little into our former education. We established however some, although not all its important principles. The constitutions of most of our States assert, that all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves, in all cases to which they think themselves competent, (as in electing their functionaries executive and legislative, and deciding by a jury of themselves, in all judiciary cases in which any fact is involved,) or they may act by representatives, freely and equally chosen; that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed; that they are entitled to freedom of person, freedom of religion, freedom of property, and freedom of the press.”
Thomas Jefferson

“I never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any party of men whatever in religion, in philosophy, in politics, or in anything else where I was capable of thinking for myself.

Thomas Jefferson

“- Every girl is proud of an offer, Yes, every girl, but not she”
Leo Tolstoy

“How can you keep your mind from wandering when you pray? Remember what you are doing: talking to God. If you had the opportunity to talk with the president, I doubt if your mind would wander. [We] have the privilege of talking to someone far greater: the King of kings!”
Billy Graham

“Everything intelligent is so boring.”
Leo Tolstoy

“You cannot avoid the interplay of politics within an orthodox religion. The power struggle permeates the training, education and disciplining of the orthodox community. Because of this pressure, the leaders of such a community inevitably much face that ultimate internal question: to succumb to complete opportunism as the price of maintaining their rule, or risk sacrificing themselves for the sake of the orthodox ethic.”
Frank Herbert

“Our values call upon us to care about the lives of people we will never meet.”
Barack Obama

“I was not a great communicator, but I communicated great things.”
Ronald Reagan

“The most important contribution you can make to your company is to be a leader, accept responsibility for results, and dare to go forward.”

Oprah Winfrey

“There is no noise as powerful as the sound of the marching feet of a determined people.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“I think that in order to know love one must make a mistake and then correct it.”
Leo Tolstoy

Albert Einstein

“Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America.”b”
