General Quotes

“In the very first month of Indian Opinion, I realized that the sole aim of journalism should be service. The newspaper press is a great power, but just as an unchained torrent of water submerges whole countrysides and devastates crops, even so an uncontrolled pen serves but to destroy. If the control is from without, it proves more poisonous than want of control. It can be profitable only when exercised from within. If this line of reasoning is correct, how many of the journals in the world would stand the test? But who would stop those that are useless? And who should be the judge? The useful and the useless must, like good and evil generally, go on together, and man must make his choice.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“All that day she had had the feeling that she was playing in the theatre with actors better than herself and that her poor playing spoiled the whole thing.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Every disability conceals a vocation, if only we can find it, which will 'turn the necessity to glorious gain.”
C.S. Lewis

“Humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less. Humility is thinking more of others.”
Rick Warren

“Check your environment and be sure that it is supportive. Some environments do not support progress. Hiroshima and Nagasaki are not fertile lands for a farmer’s dream seeds. Change location.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“I know now, Lord, why you utter no answer. You are yourself the answer. Before your face questions die away. What other answer would suffice?”
C.S. Lewis

“Eros will have naked bodies; Friendship naked personalities.”
C.S. Lewis

“Children have one kind of silliness, as you know, and grown-ups have another kind.”
C.S. Lewis

“All this is simply to say that all life is interrelated. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality; tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. As long as there is poverty in this world, no man can be totally rich even if he has a billion dollars. As long as diseases are rampant and millions of people cannot expect to live more than twenty or thirty years, no man can be totally healthy, even if he just got a clean bill of health from the finest clinic in America. Strangely enough, I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. You can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help other people get what they want.”
Zig Ziglar

“Charismatic people not only want to win, they want others to win too. That creates productivity.”
John C. Maxwell

“Our problems are manmade--therefore, they can be solved by man. And man can be as big as he wants. No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings. Man's reason and spirit have often solved the seemingly unsolvable--and we believe they can do it again.”
John F. Kennedy

“What a blessing it is for parents to believe in their children.”
Billy Graham

“Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.”
Aristotle

“Friendship that insists upon agreement on all things isn't worth the name.”
Mahatma Gandhi
