General Quotes

“He's basically a good man. But he doesn't know me. Any more than he knew that girl that looked after your mother. He can't know me, not the way I know him. Maybe some of these Hawaiians can, or the Indians on the reservation. They've seen their fathers humiliated. Their mothers desecrated. But your grandfather will never know what that feels like.”
Barack Obama

“You could use the 80/20 rule. Give 80 percent of your effort to the top 20 percent (most important) activities. Another way is to focus on exceptional opportunities that promise a huge return. It comes down to this: give your attention to the areas that bear fruit.”
John C. Maxwell

“I'm the President, but he's The Boss.”
Barack Obama

“Konstantin Levin did not like talking and hearing about the beauty of nature. Words for him took away the beauty of what he saw.”
Leo Tolstoy

“It was not easy to commit suicide as to contemplate it.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“I have never looked upon ease and happiness as ends in themselves -- this critical basis I call the ideal of a pigsty. The ideals that have lighted my way, and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Kindness, Beauty, and Truth. Without the sense of kinship with men of like mind, without the occupation with the objective world, the eternally unattainable in the field of art and scientific endeavors, life would have seemed empty to me. The trite objects of human efforts -- possessions, outward success, luxury -- have always seemed to me contemptible.”
Albert Einstein

'' A man who have not discovered something he will die for, is not fit to live.” 
Martin Luther King Jr

“Experience isn’t the best teacher—evaluated experience is.”
John C. Maxwell

“Self-reliance and independence can transform into selfishness and license, ambition into greed and a frantic desire to succeed at any cost. More than once in our history we've seen patriotism slide into jingoism, xenophobia, the stifling of dissent; we've seen faith calcify into self-righteousness, closed-mindedness, and cruelty toward others. Even the impulse toward charity can drift into a stifling paternalism, an unwillingness to acknowledge the ability of others to do for themselves. ....In a country as diverse as ours, there will always be passionate arguments about how we draw the line when it comes to government action. That is how our democracy works. But our democracy might work better if we recognized that all of us posses values worthy of respect: if liberals at least acknowledge that the recreational hunter feels the same way about his gun as they feel about their library books, and if conservatives recognized that most women feel as protective of their right to reproductive freedom as evangelicals do of their right to worship.”
Barack Obama

“Pure and complete sorrow is as impossible as pure and complete joy.”
Leo Tolstoy

“If you do not see great riches in your imagination, you will never see them in your bank balance.”
Napoleon Hill

“Frankness is not a license to say anything you want, wherever and whenever you want. It is not rudeness.”
Rick Warren

“The cross has become a symbol in much of the Western world, misused by many rock stars and others who do not comprehend its significance.”
Billy Graham

“Whenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government”
Thomas Jefferson

“Hanya ada dua cara menjalani kehidupan kita. Pertama adalah seolah tidak ada keajaiban. Kedua adalah seolah segala sesuatu adalah keajaiban.”
Albert Einstein
