General Quotes

“If you want to get warm you must stand near the fire: if you want to be wet you must get into the water. If you want joy, power, peace, eternal life, you must get close to, or even into, the thing that has them.”
C.S. Lewis

“Any day that we don’t give up puts us one day closer to success.”
Joyce Meyer

“Anybody can wish for riches, and most people do, but only a few know that a definite plan, plus a burning desire for wealth, are the only dependable means of accumulating wealth.”
Napoleon Hill

“You cannot shake hands with a clenched fist.” 
Mahatma Gandhi

“A wife's a worry, a non-wife's even worse.”
Leo Tolstoy

“The lasting sweetness of the wealth obtained is directly proportional to the honesty of its source. Dishonest wealth does not last.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“The complaint was the answer. To have heard myself making it was to be answered. Lightly men talk of saying what they mean. Often when he was teaching me to write in Greek the Fox would say, 'Child, to say the very thing you really mean, the whole of it, nothing more or less or other than what you really mean; that's the whole art and joy of words.' A glib saying. When the time comes to you at which you will be forced at last to utter the speech which has lain at the center of your soul for years which you have, all that time, idiot-like, been saying over and over, you'll not talk about the joy of words. I saw well why the gods do not speak to us openly, nor let us answer. Till that word can be dug out of us, why should they hear the babble that we think we mean? How can they meet us face to face till we have faces?”
C.S. Lewis

“In every job I’ve taken and every city in which I’ve lived, I have known that it’s time to move on when I’ve grown as much as I can. Sometimes moving on terrified me. But always it taught me that the true meaning of courage is to be afraid, and then, with your knees knocking, to step out anyway. Making a bold move is the only way to advance toward the grandest vision the universe has for you. If you allow it, fear will completely immobilize you. And once it has you in its grip, it will fight to keep you from ever becoming your best self.”
Oprah Winfrey

“The great majority of people are “wandering generalities” rather than “meaningful specifics”. The fact is that you can't bit a target that you can't see. If you don't know where you are going, you will probably end up somewhere else. You have to have goals.”
Zig Ziglar

“One of the critical factors that make people’s dreams become nightmares is that they don’t know there is a cost to be paid!”
Israelmore Ayivor

“Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“Nothing truly valuable can be achieved except by the unselfish cooperation of many individuals.”
Albert Einstein

“Lazy people don’t succeed.”
John C. Maxwell

“The Lord is not just our problem solver; He is our everything, and we need to relate to Him that way.
Joyce Meyer

“The “depression” was a blessing in disguise. It reduced the whole world to a new starting- point that gives every one a new opportunity.”
Napoleon Hill
