General Quotes

“I could not swallow this. I told him that, if the sheep had speech, they would tell a different tale. I felt that the cruel custom ought to be stopped. I thought of the story of Buddha, but I also saw that the task was beyond my capacity. I hold today the same opinion as I held then. To my mind the life of a lamb is no less precious than that of a human being. I should be unwilling to take the life of a lamb for the sake of the human body. I hold that, the more helpless a creature, the more entitled it is to protection by man from the cruelty of man. But he who has not qualified himself for such service is unable to afford to it any protection. I must go through more self-purification and sacrifice, before I can hope to save these lambs from this unholy sacrifice. Today I think I must die pining for this self-purification and sacrifice. It is my constant prayer that there may be born on earth some great spirit, man or woman, fired with divine pity, who will deliver us from this heinous sin, save the lives of the innocent creatures, and purify the temple. How is it that Bengal with all its knowledge, intelligence, sacrifice, and emotion tolerates this slaughter?”
Mahatma Gandhi

“There is no expedient to which a man will not go to avoid the real labor of thinking.”
Thomas A. Edison

“In a time of turbulence and change, it is more true than ever that knowledge is power.”
John F. Kennedy

“La búsqueda del propósito de vivir ha intrigado a la gente por miles de años. Eso ocurre porque solemos empezar por el punto de partida errado: nosotros mismos. Nos hacemos preguntas egoístas como: ¿Qué quiero ser?, ¿Qué debo hacer con mi vida?, ¿Cuáles son mis metas, mis anhelos, mis sueños para el futuro? Enfocarnos en nosotros mismos nunca podrá revelarnos el propósito de nuestra vida. La Biblia dice: «En su mano está la vida de todo ser viviente»
Rick Warren

“Paul sat silently in the darkness, a single stark thought dominating his awareness: My mother is my enemy. She does not know it, but she is. She is bringing the jihad. She bore me; she trained me. She is my enemy.”
Frank Herbert

“The way you give your name to others is a measure of how much you like and  respect yourself.”
Brian Tracy

“If the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail.”
John C. Maxwell

“There are people who, on meeting a successful rival, no matter in what, are at once disposed to turn their backs on everything good in him, and to see only what is bad. There are people, on the other hand, who desire above all to find in that lucky rival the qualities by which he has outstripped them, and seek with a throbbing ache at heart only what is good.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Human progress never rolls in on wheels of inevitability; it comes through the tireless efforts of men willing to be co workers with God, and without this hard work, time itself becomes an ally of the forces of social stagnation. We must use time creatively, in the knowledge that the time is always ripe to do right.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“Popularity and adulation are far more dangerous for the Christian than persecution. It is easy when all goes smoothly to lose our  sense of balance and perspective.”
Billy Graham

“The chances are that your job likes you precisely as much as you like it, but no more.”
Napoleon Hill

“It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“This pleased Onyango, for to him knowledge was the source of all the white man's power, and he wanted to make sure that his son was as educated as any white man.”
Barack Obama

“I am a deeply religious nonbeliever. This is a somewhat new kind of religion.”
