General Quotes

“The most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible.
Albert Einstein

“I am a product [...of] endless books. My father bought all the books he read and never got rid of any of them. There were books in the study, books in the drawing room, books in the cloakroom, books (two deep) in the great bookcase on the landing, books in a bedroom, books piled as high as my shoulder in the cistern attic, books of all kinds reflecting every transient stage of my parents' interest, books readable and unreadable, books suitable for a child and books most emphatically not. Nothing was forbidden me. In the seemingly endless rainy afternoons I took volume after volume from the shelves. I had always the same certainty of finding a book that was new to me as a man who walks into a field has of finding a new blade of grass.”
C.S. Lewis

“Now one often saw only her face and body, while her soul was not seen at all.”
Leo Tolstoy

“If you always do what you've always done, you're always going to get what you've always gotten.”
Zig Ziglar

“In each of my friends there is something that only some other friend can fully bring out. By myself I am not large enough to call the whole man into activity; I want other lights than my own to show all his facets... Hence true Friendship is the least jealous of loves. Two friends delight to be joined by a third, and three by a fourth, if only the newcomer is qualified to become a real friend. They can then say, as the blessed souls say in Dante, "Here comes one who will augment our loves." For in this love "to divide is not to take away.”
C.S. Lewis

“Perhaps it's because I appreciate all I have so much that I don't worry about what I haven't got.”
Leo Tolstoy

“I was in the kitchen drinking coffee when I heard Coretta cry, "Martin, Martin, come quickly!" I put down my cup and ran toward the living room. As I approached the front window Coretta pointed joyfully to a slowly moving bus: "Darling, it's empty!”
Martin Luther King Jr

“The future promise of any nation can be directly measured by the present prospects of its youth.”
John F. Kennedy

“God is able to give you the power to endure that which cannot be changed... Why be anxious? Come what may, God is able.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or in the holy name of liberty or democracy?”
Mahatma Gandhi

“You cannot make God stop loving you, because his love is based on who he is, not what you do. It is based on his character, not your conduct.”
Rick Warren

“He knew that Vronsky could not be prevented from amusing himself with painting; he knew that he and all dilettanti had a perfect right to paint what they liked, but it was distasteful to him. A man could not be prevented from making himself a big wax doll, and kissing it. But if the man were to come with the doll and sit before a man in love, and began caressing his doll as the lover caressed the woman he loved, it would be distasteful to the lover. Just such a distasteful sensation was what Mihailov felt at the sight of Vronsky’s painting: he felt it both ludicrous and irritating, both pitiable and offensive.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Simplicity is the shortest distance between two points.”
Bruce Lee

“It is a good rule after reading a new book, never to allow yourself another new one till you have read an old one in between.”
C.S. Lewis

“People like you and me never grow old. We never cease to stand like curious children before the great mystery into which we were born.”
Albert Einstein
