General Quotes

“A man’s alibi is the child of his own imagination. It is human nature to defend one’s own brain-child.”
Napoleon Hill

“This topic brings me to that worst outcrop of herd life, the military system, which I abhor... This plague-spot of civilization ought to be abolished with all possible speed. Heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism -- how passionately I hate them!”
Albert Einstein

“Paul felt that he had been infected with terrible purpose. He did not know yet what the terrible purpose was.”
Frank Herbert

“Only secure people can serve. Insecure people are always worrying about how they appear to others. They fear exposure of their weaknesses and hide beneath layers of protective pride and pretensions. The more insecure you are, the more you will want people to serve you, and the more you will need their approval.”
Rick Warren

“Any amount of theology can now be smuggled into people's minds under the cover of fiction without their knowing it.”

“I have received the favor of your letter of August 17th, and with it the volume you were so kind as to send me on the Literature of Negroes. Be assured that no person living wishes more sincerely than I do, to see a complete refutation of the doubts I have myself entertained and expressed on the grade of understanding allotted to them by nature, and to find that in this respect they are on a par with ourselves. My doubts were the result of personal observation on the limited sphere of my own State, where the opportunities for the development of their genius were not favorable, and those of exercising it still less so. I expressed them therefore with great hesitation; but whatever be their degree of talent it is no measure of their rights. Because Sir Isaac Newton was superior to others in understanding, he was not therefore lord of the person or property of others. On this subject they are gaining daily in the opinions of nations, and hopeful advances are making towards their reestablishment on an equal footing with the other colors of the human family.”
Thomas Jefferson

“The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance. It is the illusion of knowledge.”
John C. Maxwell

Billy Graham

“A children's story that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children's story in the slightest.”
C.S. Lewis

“need and want that His Word has promised and believe you receive them when you ask for them. Then you will have whatever it is you need from God. Some people continually ask me why God won’t heal them after they have had many people pray for them and have had no results.
Kenneth E. Hagin

“A real decision is measured by the fact that you’ve taken a new action. If there’s no action, you haven’t truly decided.”
John C. Maxwell

Mahatma Gandhi
