General Quotes

“A man who first tried to guess 'what the public wants,' and then preached that as Christianity because the public wants it, would be a pretty mixture of fool and knave”
C.S. Lewis

“There is far too great a disproportion between what one is and what others think one is, or at least what they say they think one is.”
Albert Einstein

“He who joyfully marches to music rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, deplorable love-of-country stance and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder.”
Albert Einstein

“When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on”
Abraham Lincoln

“Self-control is a divided battle in one body. The "self" produces desires that "you" must battle with and kick off. Two wrestlers in one body. Just imagine. It's difficult, though rewarding!”
Israelmore Ayivor

“Tone, inflection, timing, volume, pacing—everything you do with your voice communicates something and has the potential to help you connect to or disconnect from others when you speak.”
John C. Maxwell

“One can no more approach people without love than one can approach bees without care. Such is the quality of bees...”
Leo Tolstoy

“Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.” “ ‘Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a man’s mind,”
Frank Herbert

“The more we believe that God hurts only to heal, the less we can believe that there is any use in begging for tenderness. A cruel man might be bribed...But suppose that what you are up against is a surgeon whose intentions are wholly good. The kinder and more conscientious he is, the more inexorably he will go on cutting. If he yielded to your entreaties, if he stopped before the operation was complete, all the pain up to that point would have been useless. But is it credible that such extremities of torture should be necessary for us? Well, take your choice. The tortures occur. If they are unnecessary, then there is no God or a bad one. If there is a good God, then these tortures are necessary. For no even moderately good Being could possibly inflict or permit them if they weren't. Either way, we're for it.”
C.S. Lewis

“I want the cultures of all lands to be blown about my house as freely as possible. But I refuse to be blown of my feet by any”
Mahatma Gandhi

“I know in my heart that man is good. That what is right will always eventually triumph. And there's purpose and worth to each and every life.”
Ronald Reagan

“A habilidade mais valiosa é aquela de jamais usar duas palavras quando uma apenas basta.”
Thomas Jefferson

“I think that only daring speculation can lead us further and not accumulation of facts.”
Albert Einstein
