General Quotes

“Man can create nothing which he does not first conceive in the form of an impulse of thought.”
Napoleon Hill

“Is that the name you wish, Muad’Dib?” Stilgar asked. “I am an Atreides,” Paul whispered, and then louder: “It’s not right that I give up entirely the name my father gave me. Could I be known among you as Paul-Muad’Dib?” “You are Paul-Muad’Dib,” Stilgar said.
Frank Herbert

“Yet before another ten years had passed, he was dictator of all Arabia, ruler of Mecca, and the head of a New World religion which was to sweep to the Danube and the Pyrenees before exhausting the impetus he gave it. That impetus was three­fold: the power of words, the efficacy of prayer and man’s kinship with God.”
Napoleon Hill

“One of the marks of a certain type of bad man is that he cannot give up a thing himself without wanting every one else to give it up. That is not the Christian way. An individual Christian may see fit to give up all sorts of things for special reasons--marriage, or meat, or beer, or the cinema; but the moment he starts saying the things are bad in themselves, or looking down his nose at other people who do use them, he has taken the wrong turning.”
C.S. Lewis

“We hear a great deal about the rudeness of the ris-  ing generation. I am an oldster myself and might be  expected to take the oldsters' side, but in fact I have  been far more impressed by the bad manners of par-  ents to children than by those of children to parents.  Who has not been the embarrassed guest at family  meals where the father or mother treated their  grown-up offspring with an incivility which, offered  to any other young people, would simply have termi-  nated the acquaintance? Dogmatic assertions on mat-  ters which the children understand and their elders  don't, ruthless interruptions, flat contradictions,  ridicule of things the young take seriously some-  times of their religion insulting references to their  friends, all provide an easy answer to the question  "Why are they always out? Why do they like every  house better than their home?" Who does not prefer  civility to barbarism?”
C.S. Lewis

“You don’t have to be great to start. But you do have to start to be great.”
Zig Ziglar

“One of the most common causes of failure is the habit of quitting when one is overtaken by temporary defeat. Every person is guilty of this mistake at one time or another.”
Napoleon Hill

“Secrecy spawns isolation, not success.”
John C. Maxwell

“We get out of life what we put into it. The way we treat others is the way we ourselves get treated.”
Ben Carson

“Don't use your words to describe the situation. Use your words to change the situation.”
Joel Osteen

“Don’t be so sure you know where to draw the line,” he said. “We carry our past with us. And, mother mine, there’s a thing you don’t know and should—we are Harkonnens.”
Frank Herbert

“Preparation (growth) + Attitude + Opportunity + Action (doing something about it) = Luck”
John C. Maxwell

“Money should not direct you to what to do and what not to do; the giver of the money is responsible for playing that role.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.”
Nelson Mandela

“Now I see that I will never find the light Unless, like the candle, I am my own fuel, Consuming myself.”
Bruce Lee
