General Quotes

“If we are to make progress, we must not repeat history but make new history. We must add to inheritance left by our ancestors.” 
Mahatma Gandhi

“knowledge is power.” It is nothing of the sort! Knowledge is only potential power. It becomes power only when, and if, it is organized into definite plans of action, and directed to a definite end.”
Napoleon Hill

“I often think how unfairly life's good fortune is sometimes distributed. ”
Leo Tolstoy

“But now I discovered the wonderful power of wine. I understood why men become drunkards. For the way it worked on me was not at all that it blotted out these sorrows, but that it made them seem glorious and noble, like sad music, and I somehow great and revered for feeling them.”
C.S. Lewis

“What a strange illusion it is to suppose that beauty is goodness.
Leo Tolstoy

“You can gain or buy friends by letting them control you, but you will have to keep them the same way you got them. After allowing them to control you to keep their friendship for a while, you will eventually get tired of having no freedom. Being lonely is actually better than being manipulated and controlled. When you enter into a new relationship, be careful how you get started. What you allow in the beginning will come to be expected throughout your association with that person. The behavior you tolerate at the start of a relationship should be behavior you can be happy with permanently. Let people know by your actions that even though you would like their approval, you can live without it. Respect others, and let them know you expect them to respect you, too.”
Joyce Meyer

“Literary experience heals the wound, without undermining the privilege, of individuality.”
C.S. Lewis

“I cannot make myself believe that God wanted me to hate. I'm tired of violence, I've seen too much of it. I've seen such hate on the faces of too many sheriffs in the South. And I'm not going to let my oppressor dictate to me what method I must use. Our oppressors have used violence. Our oppressors have used hatred. Our oppressors have used rifles and guns. I'm not going to stoop down to their level. I want to rise to a higher level. We have a power that can't be found in Molotov cocktails.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“We can worship God imperfectly, but we cannot worship him insincerely.”
Rick Warren

“Be conscious of the global elements in your dreams. When starting local, dream of taking it global sooner.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“These prin­ciples laid down as in variable rules: that one must pay a card sharper, but need not pay a tailor; that one must never tell a lie to a man, but one may to a woman; that one must never cheat any one, but one may a husband; that one must never pardon an insult, but one may give one and so on. These principles were possibly not reasonable and not good, but they were of unfailing certainty, and so long as he adhered to them, Vronsky felt that his heart was at peace and he could hold his head up.”
Leo Tolstoy

“The first step toward success is taken when you refuse to be a captive of the environment you first find yourself in.” —MARK CAINE”
John C. Maxwell

“What do you despise? By this are you truly known.”
Frank Herbert

“Your success in life will be in direct proportion to what you do after you do what you are expected to do.”
Brian Tracy

“To be successful is to be helpful, caring, and constructive, to make everything and everyone you touch a little bit better. The best thing you have to give is yourself.”
John C. Maxwell
