General Quotes

“You weren’t created to simply exist, to endure, or to go through the motions; you were created to be really alive.”
Joel Osteen

“When the universe compels me toward the best path to take, it never leaves me with "maybe," "should I," or even "perhaps." I always know for sure when it's telling me to proceed - because everything inside me rises up to reverberate "YES!”
Oprah Winfrey

“It is what we make out of what we have, not what we are given, that separates one person from another.”
Nelson Mandela

“And what was worst of all was that *It* drew his attention to itself not in order to make him take some action but only that he should look at *It*, look it straight in the face: look at it and without doing anything, suffer inexpressibly. And to save himself from this condition Ivan Ilych looked for consolations -- new screens -- and new screens were found and for a while seemed to save him, but then they immediately fell to pieces or rather became transparent, as if *It* penetrated them and nothing could veil *It*.”
Leo Tolstoy

“The greatest tragedy to ever happen to a nation is not the incidences of war or terrorism. It's when more bookshops close down and more drinking bars are opened to replace them!”
Israelmore Ayivor

“Surrender is hard work.”
Rick Warren

“He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“What we believe is a result of our thinking. If we think wrong, we will believe wrong.”
Kenneth E. Hagin

Zig Ziglar

“In reading Chesterton, as in reading MacDonald, I did not know what I was letting myself in for. A young man who wishes to remain a sound Atheist cannot be too careful of his reading. There are traps everywhere — "Bibles laid open, millions of surprises," as Herbert says, "fine nets and stratagems." God is, if I may say it, very unscrupulous.”
C.S. Lewis

“Politics can be strengthened by music, but music has a potency that defies politics.”
Nelson Mandela

“If I could do it all again, I'd be a plumber.”
Albert Einstein

“Nothing wins more loyalty for a leader than an air of bravura," the Duke said. "I, therefore, cultivate an air of bravura.”
Frank Herbert

“Building alibis is a deeply rooted habit.”
Napoleon Hill

“But we do not have to think that human nature is perfect for us to still believe that the human condition can be perfected. We do not have to live in an idealized world to still reach for those ideals that will make it a better place. The non-violence practiced by men like Gandhi and King may not have been practical or possible in every circumstance, but the love that they preached - their faith in human progress - must always be the North Star that guides us on our journey. For if we lose that faith - if we dismiss it as silly or naïve; if we divorce it from the decisions that we make on issues of war and peace - then we lose what is best about humanity. We lose our sense of possibility. We lose our moral compass.”
Barack Obama
