General Quotes

“The problem with the world is that we draw the circle of our family too small.”
Mother Teresa

“When we take steps of faith to make progress in life, there is no guarantee that we will not experience opposition. But we do have God’s guarantee that He will always be with us, and that is truly all we need.”
Joyce Meyer

“Of course, it would be much easier if we could all continue to think in traditional political patterns—of liberalism and conservatism, as Republicans and Democrats, from the viewpoint of North and South, management and labor, business and consumer or some equally narrow framework. It would be more comfortable to continue to move and vote in platoons, joining whomever of our colleagues are equally enslaved by some current fashion, raging prejudice or popular movement. But today this nation cannot tolerate the luxury of such lazy political habits. Only the strength and progress and peaceful change that come from independent judgment and individual ideas—and even from the unorthodox and the eccentric—can enable us to surpass that foreign ideology that fears free thought more than it fears hydrogen bombs. We shall need compromises in the days ahead, to be sure. But these will be, or should be, compromises of issues, not of principles. We can compromise our political positions, but not ourselves.”
John F. Kennedy

“Why love if losing hurts so much? We love to know that we are not alone. ”
C.S. Lewis

“We should never forget that everything Adolph Hitler did in Germany was "legal" and everything the Hungarian freedom fighers did in Hungary was "illegal." It was "illegal" to aid and comfort a Jew in Hitler's Germany.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“When your life is not in order, you feel discomfort.”
T.D. Jakes

“... in marriage the great thing was love, and that with love one would always be happy, for happiness rests only on oneself.”
Leo Tolstoy

“God proved His love on the Cross. When Christ hung, and bled, and died, it was God saying to the world, 'I love you.”
Billy Graham

“sitting on that bench just pondering. I don't”
Joyce Meyer

“You have to make the right choice in order to have the right to change the world... Take hold of this chance right away!”
Israelmore Ayivor

“But we do not have to think that human nature is perfect for us to still believe that the human condition can be perfected. We do not have to live in an idealized world to still reach for those ideals that will make it a better place. The non-violence practiced by men like Gandhi and King may not have been practical or possible in every circumstance, but the love that they preached - their faith in human progress - must always be the North Star that guides us on our journey. For if we lose that faith - if we dismiss it as silly or naïve; if we divorce it from the decisions that we make on issues of war and peace - then we lose what is best about humanity. We lose our sense of possibility. We lose our moral compass.”
Barack Obama

“If a man aspires to a righteous life, his first act of abstinence if from injury to animals.”
Leo Tolstoy

“The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.”
Thomas Jefferson

“One must do one of two tings: either admit that the existing order of society is just, and then stick up for one's rights in it;or acknowledge that you are enjoying unjust privileges, as i do, and then enjoy them and be satisfied.”
Leo Tolstoy

“It is better to forget about yourself altogether.”
C.S. Lewis
