General Quotes

“The chief reason why the prince was so particularly disagreeable to Vronsky was that he could not help seeing himself in him. And what he saw in this mirror did not gratify his self- esteem. He was a very stupid and very self-satisfied and very healthy and very well-washed man, and nothing else... He was equable and not cringing with his superiors, was free and ingratiating in his behavior with his equals, and was contemptuously indulgent with his inferiors... for this prince he was an inferior, and his contemptuous and indulgent attitude to him revolted him.”
Leo Tolstoy

“The heart’s earnest and pure desire is always fulfilled. In my own experience I have often seen this rule verified.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“Not my idea of God, but God. Not my idea of H., but H. Yes, and also not my idea of my neighbour, but my neighbour. For don't we often make this mistake as regards people who are still alive -- who are with us in the same room? Talking and acting not to the man himself but to the picture -- almost the précis -- we've made of him in our own minds? And he has to depart from it pretty widely before we even notice the fact.”
C.S. Lewis

“You are all misleading one another, and are yourselves deceived. The sun does not go round the earth, but the earth goes round the sun, revolving as it goes, and turning towards the sun in the course of each twenty-four hours, not only Japan, and the Philippines, and Sumatra where we now are, but Africa, and Europe, and America, and many lands besides. The sun does not shine for some one mountain, or for some one island, or for some one sea, nor even for one earth alone, but for other planets as well as our earth. If you would only look up at the heavens, instead of at the ground beneath your own feet, you might all understand this, and would then no longer suppose that the sun shines for you, or for your country alone.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Smiling novices. I can hear the music of your laughter of joy. Learn, my children, to be holy, for true holiness consists of doing God's work with a smile.”
Mother Teresa

“To forgive is the highest, most beautiful form of love. In return, you will receive untold peace and happiness.”
Joyce Meyer

“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable”
John F. Kennedy

“man was designed for accomplishment, engineered for success, and endowed with the seeds of greatness.”
Zig Ziglar

“was serene. Her Moscow troubles had become a memory to her.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past, let us accept our own responsibility for the future.”
John F. Kennedy

“With the breakdown of discipline in the home and with every source of amusement and instruction pouring poison into daily life, it is not to be wondered that the minds of people are ready to receive anything but the truth and that they are ready to believe lies and ultimately the lie.”
Billy Graham

“Ah, if everyone was as sensitive as you! There's no girl who hasn't gone through that. And it's all so unimportant!”
Leo Tolstoy

“Once a king or queen of Narnia, always a king or queen of Narnia.”
C.S. Lewis

“If your habits don't line up with your dream, then you need to either change your habits or change your dream.”
John C. Maxwell

“When Sadik lost his own lease, we moved in together. And after a few months of closer scrutiny, he began to realize that the city had indeed had an effect on me, although not the one he’d expected. I stopped getting high. I ran three miles a day and fasted on Sundays. For the first time in years, I applied myself to my studies and started keeping a journal of daily reflections and very bad poetry.”
Barack Obama
