General Quotes

“The ultimate tragedy of Birmingham was not the brutality of the bad people, but the silence of the good people.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“The way you think determines the way you feel, and the way you feel determines the way you act.”
Rick Warren

“Action is the real measure of intelligence.”
Napoleon Hill

“People naturally see themselves in the light of their intentions, but they measure others according to their actions.”
John C. Maxwell

“Levin had often noticed in arguments between even the most intelligent people that after enormous efforts, an enormous number of logical subtleties and words, the arguers would finally come to the awareness that what they had spent so long struggling to prove to each other had been known to them long, long before, from the beginning of the argument, but that they loved different things and therefore did not want to name what they loved, so as not to be challenged. He had often felt that sometimes during an argument you would understand what your opponent loves, and suddenly come to love the same thing yourself, and agree all at once, and then all reasonings would fall away as superfluous; and sometimes it was the other way round: you would finally say what you yourself love, for the sake of which you are inventing your reasonings, and if you happened to say it well and sincerely, the opponent would suddenly agree and stop arguing. That was the very thing he wanted to say.
Leo Tolstoy

“If I had an hour to solve a problem I'd spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and 5 minutes thinking about solutions.”
Albert Einstein

“A Roman soldier . . . thrust a spear into Jesus’ side and out came blood and water. Physicians say that a mixture of blood and water indicates that Jesus died of a broken heart. He poured out the last ounce of His blood to redeem us.”
Billy Graham

“There is a kind of happiness and wonder that makes you serious. It is too good to waste on jokes.”
C.S. Lewis

“It is our emptiness and lowliness that God needs and not our plenitude. These are a few of the ways we can practice humility: Speak as little as possible of oneself. Mind one's own business. Avoid curiosity. Do not want to manage other people's affairs. Accept contradiction and correction cheerfully. Pass over the mistakes of others. Accept blame when innocent. Yield to the will of others. Accept insults and injuries. Accept being slighted, forgotten, and disliked. Be kind and gentle even under provocation. Do not seek to be specially loved and admired. Never stand on one's dignity. Yield in discussion even when one is right. Choose always the hardest.” 
Mother Teresa

“On matters of style, swim with the current, on matters of principle, stand like a rock.”
Thomas Jefferson

“Friends who mock your dreams are not qualified to keep dusting your door step with their footprints every time.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“Daniel and his companions were tempted to forsake their godly heritage but they refused. They even faced a fiery furnace rather than compromise.”
Billy Graham

“I would like to suggest that you take responsibility for your joy and never again give anyone else the job of keeping you happy. You can control what you do, but you cannot control what other people do. So you may be unhappy a lot of the time if you depend on them as your source of joy. The psalmist David said that he encouraged himself in the Lord, and if he can do it, then we can do it too.”
Joyce Meyer

“One truly must have suffered oneself to help others.”
Mother Teresa

“Mientras no descubras un propósíto impulsor para tu vida, todo lo que estás haciendo es existir.”
Rick Warren
