General Quotes

“Our problems are no longer problems when we seek learning instead of leisure.”
John C. Maxwell

“The most fortunate of us, in our journey through life, frequently meet with calamities and misfortunes which may greatly afflict us; and, to fortify our minds against the attacks of these calamities and misfortunes should be one of the principal studies and endeavors of our lives. The only method of doing this is to assume a perfect resignation to the Divine will, to consider that whatever does happen, must happen; and that, by our uneasiness, we cannot prevent the blow before it does fall, but we may add to its force after it has fallen. These considerations, and others such as these, may enable us in some measure to surmount the difficulties thrown in our way; to bear up with a tolerable degree of patience under the burden of life; and to proceed with a pious and unshaken resignation, till we arrive at our journey's end.”
Thomas Jefferson

“Every man is what he is because of the dominating thoughts which he permits to occupy his mind.”
Napoleon Hill

“Give more, don't expect not to be repaid. Give more thanks for what you haven’t expected but received!”
Israelmore Ayivor

“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

“Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one”
Bruce Lee

“On matters of style, swim with the current, on matters of principle, stand like a rock.”
Thomas Jefferson

“There are some actions from which an escape is a godsend both for the man who escapes and for those about him. Man, as soon as he gets back his consciousness of right, is thankful to the Divine mercy for the escape.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“If a man aspires towards a righteous life, his first act of abstinence is from injury to animals.”
Albert Einstein

“God, help me to tell the thruth to the strong and to avoid telling lies to get the weak's applause. If you give me success, do not take away my humility. If you give me humility, do not take away my dignity. God, help me to see the other side of the medal. Don't let me blame others of treason just because they don't think they like me. God, teach me to love people as I love myself and to judge me as I judge others. Please, don't let me be proud if I succed, or fall in despair if I fall. Remind me that failure is the experience that precedes triumph. Teach me that forgiving is the most important in the strong and that revenge is the most primitive sigh in the weak. If you take away my success, let me keep my strength to succeed from failure. If I fall people, give me courage to apologize and if people fail me, give me courage to forgive them. God, if I forget you, please do not forget me.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“Work isn’t only earning a living; work gives us a sense of purpose and worth and opportunities for companionship.”
Billy Graham

“In order not to give myself up to the desire to kill him on the spot, I felt compelled to treat him cordially.”
Leo Tolstoy

“BY DEVOTING THE TIME AND EFFORT IT TAKES TO DEVELOP WHAT GOD HAS PLACED YOU, YOU WILL EXPERIENCE THE JOY OF FULFILLMENT.”
Joyce Meyer

“We must be constantly aware that Satan can take any human effort and twist it to serve his own purposes.”
Billy Graham

“It is the Holy Spirit's job to convict, God's job to judge and my job to love.”
Billy Graham
