General Quotes

“That which constitutes the cause of the economic poverty of our age is what the English call over-production (which means that a mass of things are made which are of no use to anybody, and with which nothing can be done).”
Leo Tolstoy

“Where there is law there is injustice”
Leo Tolstoy

“By just being positive, having the best perspective on everything, and always believing the best of everybody, we release peace and joy in our lives.”
Joyce Meyer

“I was impatient in those days, busy with work and unrealized plans, and prone to see other people as unnecessary distractions.”
Barack Obama

“There is no need to be worried by facetious people who try to make the Christian hope of ‘Heaven’ ridiculous by saying they do not want ‘to spend eternity playing harps’. The answer to such people is that if they cannot understand books written for grown-ups, they should not talk about them. All the scriptural imagery (harps, crowns, gold, etc.) is, of course, a merely symbolical attempt to express the inexpressible. Musical instruments are mentioned because for many people (not all) music is the thing known in the present life which most strongly suggests ecstasy and infinity. Crowns are mentioned to suggest the fact that those who are united with God in eternity share His splendour and power and joy. Gold is mentioned to suggest the timelessness of Heaven (gold does not rust) and the preciousness of it. People who take these symbols literally might as well think that when Christ told us to be like doves, He meant that we were to lay eggs.”
C.S. Lewis

“...privileged groups seldom give up their privileges voluntarily.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“Many people dedicate their lives to actualizing a concept of what they should be like, rather than actualizing themselves. This difference between self-actualization and self-image actualization is very important. Most people live only for their image”
Bruce Lee

“Love to be real, it must cost—it must hurt—it must empty us of self.”
Mother Teresa

“The best use of life is love. The best expression of love is time. The best time to love is now.”
Rick Warren

“The Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home. . . . What I think we know — separate and apart from this incident — is that there is a long history in their country of African-Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately, and that’s just a fact.”
Barack Obama

“Never spend your money before you have it.”
Thomas Jefferson

“They stormed and jeered at one another in long meaningless words of about twenty syllables each.”
C.S. Lewis

“In your life you meet people. Some you never think about again. Some, you wonder what happened to them. There are some that you wonder if they ever think about you. And then there are some that you wish you never have to think about again. But you do.”
C.S. Lewis

“What I know for sure: There is no need to struggle with your body when you can make a loving and grateful peace with it.”
Oprah Winfrey

“It is not wrong to want to work and earn a decent living; in fact, God has given work to us. But this legitimate desire can very easily cross the line into greed—especially in our materialistic society.”
Billy Graham
