General Quotes

“Conscience is our wisest counselor and teacher, our most faithful and most patient friend.”
Billy Graham

“There is a ripeness of time for death, regarding others as well as ourselves, when it is reasonable we should drop off, and make room for another growth. When we have lived our generation out, we should not wish to encroach on another.”
Thomas Jefferson

“I first learned the concepts of non-violence in my marriage.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“My field was God’s earth. Wherever I ploughed, there was my field. Land was free. It was a thing no man called his own. Labor was the only thing men called their own.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Communists have always played an active role in the fight by colonial countries for their freedom, because the short-term objects of Communism would always correspond with the long-term objects of freedom movements.” 
Nelson Mandela

“In a republican nation, whose citizens are to be led by reason and persuasion and not by force, the art of reasoning becomes of first importance”
Thomas Jefferson

“People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.”
John C. Maxwell

“Don't be scared by the word authority. Believing things on authority only means believing them because you've been told them by someone you think trustworthy. Ninety-nine per cent of the things you believe are believed on authority. I believe there is such a place as New York. I haven't seen it myself. I couldn't prove by abstract reasoning that there must be such a place. I believe it because reliable people have told me so. The ordinary man believes in the Solar System, atoms, evolution, and the circulation of the blood on authority -because the scientists say so. Every historical statement in the world is believed on authority. None of us has seen the Norman Conquest or the defeat of the Armada. None of us could prove them by pure logic as you prove a thing in mathematics. We believe them simply because people who did see them have left writings that tell us about them: in fact, on authority. A man who jibbed at authority in other things as some people do in religion would have to be content to know nothing all his life.”
C.S. Lewis

“There is a kind of happiness and wonder that makes you serious. It is too good to waste on jokes.”
C.S. Lewis

“Never argue with an artist.”
Albert Einstein

“Orang takkan pernah terlalu sibuk untuk memahami asalnya. --Nenek”
Barack Obama

“But truth is hard as adamant and tender as a blossom.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“It was ANC policy to try to educate all people, even our enemies: we believed that all men, even prison service warders, were capable of change, and we did our utmost to try to sway them.”
Nelson Mandela

“You can have religion but not know Christ. It’s having Christ that counts.”
Billy Graham

“All citizens need to arm themselves with a basic knowledge of American history and stay abreast of current events, analyzing them with respect to history. Knowledge is power and at a time when the people are becoming increasingly impotent while the government grows larger and more powerful, it is vital that we arm ourselves with knowledge.”
Ben Carson
