General Quotes

“In terms of doing things I take a fairly scientific approach to why things happen and how they happen. I don't know if there's a god or not...”
Bill Gates

“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

“What is the point of being on this Earth if you are going to be like everyone else?”
Arnold Schwarzenegger

“Friend, I am not suggesting at all. You see, I know now. Let us be frank. Our opinions were not honestly come by. We simply found ourselves in contact with a certain current of ideas and plunged into it because it seemed modern and successful. At College, you know, we just started automatically writing the kind of essays that got good marks and saying the kind of things that won applause. When, in our whole lives, did we honestly face, in solitude, the one question on which all turned: whether after all the Supernatural might not in fact occur? When did we put up one moment's real resistance to the loss of our faith?”
C.S. Lewis

“You can begin as if nothing had ever gone wrong. White as snow.”
C.S. Lewis

“A goal, however, is something distinctly different from a wish. It is clear, written, and specific. It can be quickly and easily described to another person. You can measure it, and you know when you have achieved it or not.”
Brian Tracy

“When stumbling blocks can become stepping stones, then these stones that the builders reject can equally become chief corner stones!”
Israelmore Ayivor

“If you want to be the best leader you can possibly be, no matter how much or how little natural leadership talent you possess, you need to become a serving leader.”
John C. Maxwell

“truth, like gold, is to be obtained not by its growth, but by washing away from it all that is not gold.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Health, learning and virtue will ensure your happiness; they will give you a quiet conscience, private esteem and public honour.”
Thomas Jefferson

“Just to be tender, just to be true,         Just to be glad the whole day through,         Just to be merciful, just to be mild,         Just to be trustful as a child,         Just to be gentle and kind and sweet,         Just to be helpful with willing feet,         Just to be cheery when things go wrong,         Just to drive sadness away with song,         Whether the hour is dark or bright,         Just to be loyal to God and right         Just to believe that God knows best,         Just in His promise ever to rest,         Just to let love be our daily key,         That is God’s will for you and me. Our Father and our God, You have shown me such great kindness and gentle mercy. Teach me to be gentle and kind too. Help me reach out to the lost in compassion and love to bring them gently to You through the person of Jesus Christ, through whom I pray.”
Billy Graham

“Oh, I can see it happening, age after age, and growing worse the more you reveal your beauty: the son turning his back on the mother and the bride on her groom, stolen away by this everlasting calling, calling, calling of the gods. Taken where we can't follow. It would be far better for us if you were foul and ravening. We'd rather you drank their blood than stole their hearts. We'd rather they were ours and dead than yours and made immortal.”
C.S. Lewis

“Let no man pull you low enough to hate him.” 
Martin Luther King Jr

“thoughts are things”
Napoleon Hill

“Puddleglum is the name. It doesn't matter if you forget it, I can always tell you again.”
C.S. Lewis
