General Quotes

“I do value my work awfully; but in reality only consider this: all this world of ours is nothing but a speck of mildew, which has grown up on a tiny planet. And for us to suppose we can have something great - ideas, work - it's all dust and ashes.”
Leo Tolstoy

“If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as a Michaelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, 'Here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“The only way to develop a heart of flesh is to spend time with God.”
Joyce Meyer

“Prison is a still point in a turning world, and it is very easy to remain in the same place in jail while the world moves on.”
Nelson Mandela

“The philosophy of the schoolroom in one generation is the philosophy of government in the next.”
Abraham Lincoln

“Luke 9:56, “For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.”
Kenneth E. Hagin

“God is not necessarily looking for people with amazing abilities, but He searches for availability and a person who is willing to simply do whatever He asks them to do. If we will lift our hands to God and say, “I am available to do whatever You want me to do,” we will have peace and joy as we journey through life.”
Joyce Meyer

“Desire The Starting Point of All Achievement: the First Step Toward Riches”
Napoleon Hill

“I have seen, the desperation and disorder of the powerless: how it twists the lives of children on the streets of Jakarta or Nairobi in much the same way as it does the lives of children on Chicago’s South Side, how narrow the path is for them between humiliation and untrammeled fury, how easily they slip into violence and despair. I know that the response of the powerful to this disorder -- alternating as it does between a dull complacency and, when the disorder spills out of its proscribed confines, a steady, unthinking application of force, of longer prison sentences and more sophisticated military hardware -- is inadequate to the task. I know that the hardening of lines, the embrace of fundamentalism and tribe, dooms us all.”
Barack Obama

“We forgive, we mortify our resentment; a week later some chain of thought carries us back to the original offence and we discover the old resentment blazing away as if nothing had been done about it at all. We need to forgive our brother seventy times seven not only for 490 offences but for one offence. ”
C.S. Lewis

“Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”
John F. Kennedy

“Be a hard worker. Work and happiness are like mother and daughter. Work brings forth happiness. Hard work brings great happiness. Enjoy life.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“The only guarantee for failure is to stop trying”
John C. Maxwell

“Now the trouble about trying to make yourself stupider than you really are is that you very often succeed.”
C.S. Lewis

“Somewhere in your make-up (perhaps in the cells of your brain) there lies sleeping, the seed of achievement which, if aroused and put into action, would carry you to heights, such as you may never have hoped to attain.”
Napoleon Hill
