General Quotes

“Without a clear purpose you have no foundation on which you base decisions, allocate your time, and use your resources. You will tend to make choices based on circumstances, pressures, and your mood at that moment. People who don’t know their purpose try to do too much — and that causes stress, fatigue, and conflict.”
Rick Warren

“Everything yields to diligence”
Thomas Jefferson

“You can choose when and when not to be stopped... Choose to be stopped after you die... when your work is done and done well.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“No man who is resolved to make the most of himself can spare time for personal contention.”
Abraham Lincoln

“When the examination was over, the doctor looked at his watch, and then Praskovya Fyodorovna informed Ivan Ilyich that it must of course be as he liked, but she had sent today for a celebrated doctor, and that he would examine him, and have a consultation with Mihail Danilovich (that was the name of his regular doctor). 'Don't oppose it now, please. This I'm doing entirely for my own sake,' she said ironically, meaning it to be understood that she was doing it all for his sake, and was only saying this to give him no right to refuse her request. He lay silent, knitting his brows. He felt that he was hemmed in by such a tangle of falsity that it was hard to disentangle anything from it. Everything she did for him was entirely for her own sake, and she told him she was doing for her own sake what she actually was doing for her own sake as something so incredible that he would take it as meaning the opposite.”
Leo Tolstoy

“At moments of departure and a change of life, people capable of reflecting on their actions usually get into a serious state of mind. At these moments they usually take stock of the past and make plans for the future.”
Leo Tolstoy

“The Bible nowhere teaches that the church will ultimately convert the whole world to Jesus Christ. There has never been a generation in history, nor will there ever be generation, in which the majority of the people will believe in Christ.”
Billy Graham

“Many a criminal has finally given himself over to the authorities because the accusations of a guilty conscience were worse than prison bars.”

“I hope the day will never come when the church abandons the “class meeting” and the prayer service . . .The old-fashioned “testimony” meeting should be revived, for through this medium we can share with others our faith and triumphs as well as our needs and mistakes.”
Billy Graham

“In simple words, whatever you were born to do, you were equipped to do it. You are a whole equipment for success!”
Israelmore Ayivor

“Never joined the wrong boat. When the destination is right, and the direction is wronged, everything goes wrongly!”
Israelmore Ayivor
