General Quotes

“They (religions) dread the advance of science as witches do the approach of daylight and scowl on the fatal harbinger announcing the subversions of the duperies on which they live.”
Thomas Jefferson

“If you wait until you can do everything for everybody, instead of something for somebody, you’ll end up not doing anything for anybody.”
John C. Maxwell

“Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one”
Bruce Lee

“The use of fashions in thought is to distract men from their real dangers. We direct the fashionable outcry of each generation against those vices of which it is in the least danger, and fix its approval on the virtue that is nearest the vice which we are trying to make endemic. The game is to have them all running around with fire extinguishers whenever there’s a flood; and all crowding to that side of the boat which is already nearly gone under.”
C.S. Lewis

“An enemy generally says and believes what he wishes.” 
Thomas Jefferson

“The person who forgives is always greater than the one who is jealous and angry.” 
Joyce Meyer

“Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.”
George Washington

“Before success comes in any man’s life, he is sure to meet with much temporary defeat, and, perhaps, some failure. When defeat overtakes a man, the easiest and most logical thing to do is to quit. That is exactly what the majority of men do. More than five hundred of the most successful men this country has ever known told the author their greatest success came just one step beyond the point at which defeat had overtaken them.”
Napoleon Hill

“I may grow rich by an art I am compelled to follow; I may recover health by medicines I am compelled to take against my own judgment; but I cannot be saved by a worship I disbelieve and abhor.”
Thomas Jefferson

“Die Welt wird nicht bedroht von den Menschen, die böse sind, sondern von denen, die das Böse zulassen.”
Albert Einstein

“May it [American independence] be to the world, what I believe it will be, (to some parts sooner, to others later, but finally to all,) the signal of arousing men to burst the chains under which monkish ignorance and superstition had persuaded them to bind themselves, and to assume the blessings and security of self-government. That form which we have substituted, restores the free right to the unbounded exercise of reason and freedom of opinion. All eyes are opened, or opening, to the rights of man. The general spread of the light of science has already laid open to every view the palpable truth, that the mass of mankind has not been born with saddles on their backs, nor a favored few booted and spurred, ready to ride them legitimately... These are grounds of hope for others. For ourselves, let the annual return of this day forever refresh our recollections of these rights, and an undiminished devotion to them.
Thomas Jefferson

“The human heart is not unchanging (nay, changes almost out of recognition in the twinkling of an eye)...”
C.S. Lewis

“Your yearning for God must supersede all other desires. It must be like a gnawing hunger and a burning thirst.”
Billy Graham

“Never before has man had such capacity to control his own environment,...We have the power to make this the best generation of mankind in the history or the world - or make it the last.”
John F. Kennedy

“This is the fourth?
Thomas Jefferson
