General Quotes

“Thus the truth—that his life should be directed by the spiritual element which is its basis, which manifests itself as love, and which is so natural to man—this truth, in order to force a way to man’s consciousness, had to struggle not merely against the obscurity with which it was expressed and the intentional and unintentional distortions surrounding it, but also against deliberate violence, which by means of persecutions and punishments sought to compel men to accept religious laws authorized by the rulers and conflicting with the truth.”
Leo Tolstoy

“The truest and most horrible claim made for modern transport is that it “annihilates space.” It does. It annihilates one of the most glorious gifts we have been given. It is a vile inflation which lowers the value of distance, so that a modern boy travels a hundred miles with less sense of liberation and pilgrimage and adventure than his grandfather got from traveling ten. Of course if a man hates space and wants it to be annihilated, that is another matter. Why not creep into his coffin at once? There is little enough space there.”
C.S. Lewis

“Certainly, other people can pray for you, they can believe for you, they can quote the scripture to you, but you must exercise faith for yourself. If you are always depending on somebody else to keep you happy, somebody else to encourage you or to get you out of trouble, you will live in perpetual weakness and disappointment. You must make a decision that you are going to be a believer. Take charge of your life and decide, “No matter what comes against me, I believe in God. I’m going to have a positive outlook for my life! Other people’s faith can indeed bolster yours. But your own faith will bring you a miracle much faster than anybody else’s. What you believe has a much greater impact on your life than what anybody else believes.”
Joel Osteen

“For if we allow that human life is always guided by reason, we destroy the premise that life is possible at all.
Leo Tolstoy

“It is neither wealth nor splendor, but tranquility and occupation which give happiness.”
Thomas Jefferson

“We feel unhappy and confused with our life when we don't do the focus or calling that God has on our life.”
John C. Maxwell

“Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation.”
Brian Tracy

“When you are close to Christ, you are enclosed in liberty. You can never be intimidated by man if you are intimate with Christ.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“This is the glory of our religion: that when man decides to rise up from his mistakes, from his sin, from his evil, there is a loving God saying, “Come home, I still love you.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“Surrendering to God is not passive resignation, fatalism, or an excuse for laziness.”
Rick Warren

“Former US president Woodrow Wilson said, “If you want to make enemies, change something.”
John C. Maxwell

“All god wants us to do is do what he asks us to do.”
Joyce Meyer

“Lead from the front — but don t leave your base behind.”
Nelson Mandela

“the work and achievements of hundreds of men of outstanding accomplishment, that there was the influence of a woman’s love behind nearly every one of them.”
Napoleon Hill

“As though I had been going steadily downhill, imagining that I was going uphill. So it was in fact. In public opinion I was going uphill, and steadily as I got up it, life was ebbing away from me....And now the work's done, there's only death.”
Leo Tolstoy
