General Quotes

“Examine the first hundred people you meet, ask them what they want most in life, and ninety eight of them will not be able to tell you. If you press them for an answer, some will say— security, many will say— money, a few will say— happiness, others will say— fame and power, and still others will say— social recognition, ease in living, ability to sing, dance, or write, but none of them will be able to define these terms, or give the slightest indication of a plan by which they hope to attain these vaguely expressed wishes. Riches do not respond to wishes. They respond only to definite plans, backed by definite desires, through constant persistence.”
Napoleon Hill

“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

“One touch of His (God’s) favor can put you fifty years ahead of where you thought you’d be.”
Joel Osteen

“One of the reasons people don’t achieve their dreams is that they desire to change their results without changing their thinking.”
John C. Maxwell

“In a gentle way, you can shake the world.”

“Jesus told His disciples that the “world,” meaning the world system, the political and social order organized apart from God, will despise Christians.”
Billy Graham

“An autocratic system of coercion, in my opinion soon degenerates. For force always attract men of low morality.”
Albert Einstein

“She looked at patches of blackness. Black is a blind remembering, she thought.”
Frank Herbert

“Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a man’s mind,’” Paul quoted.”
Frank Herbert

“Fit yourself where you are before you fix yourself where you can be!”

Israelmore Ayivor

“Excellence is doing a common thing in an uncommon way.”
Albert Einstein

“No man knows how bad he is till he has tried very hard to be good. A silly idea is current that good people do not know what temptation means. This is an obvious lie. Only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is. After all, you find out the strength of the German army by fighting against it, not by giving in. You find out the strength of a wind by trying to walk against it, not by lying down. A man who gives in to temptation after five minutes simply does not know what it would have been like an hour later. That is why bad people, in one sense, know very little about badness — they have lived a sheltered life by always giving in. We never find out the strength of the evil impulse inside us until we try to fight it: and Christ, because He was the only man who never yielded to temptation, is also the only man who knows to the full what temptation means — the only complete realist.”
C.S. Lewis

“I have flown twice over Mt St. Helens out on our west coast. I'm not a scientist and I don't know the figures, but I have a suspicion that that one little mountain has probably released more sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere of the world than has been released in the last ten years of automobile driving or things of that kind that people are so concerned about.”
Ronald Reagan

“To win the big stakes in this changed world, you must catch the spirit of the great pioneers of the past, whose dreams have given to civilization all that it has of value, the spirit that serves as the life-blood of our own country – your opportunity and mine, to develop and market our talents.”
Napoleon Hill
