General Quotes

“What is important for a leader is that which makes him a leader. It is the needs of his people.”
Frank Herbert

“We become addicted to approval when we base our self-worth on how people treat us or on what we believe they think about us.”
Joyce Meyer

“The vision is really about empowering workers giving them all the information about what’s going on so they can do a lot more than they’ve done in the past.”
Bill Gates

“The environment is everything that isn't me.”
Albert Einstein

“And where love ends, hate begins”
Leo Tolstoy

“Where success is concerned, people are not measured in inches, or pounds, or college degrees, or family background; they are measured by the size of their thinking.”
John C. Maxwell

“The fantastical idea of virtue and the public good being a sufficient security to the state against the commission of crimes...was never mine. It is only the sanguinary hue of our penal laws which I meant to object to. Punishments I know are necessary, and I would provide them strict and inflexible, but proportioned to the crime. Death might be inflicted for murder and perhaps for treason, [but I] would take out of the description of treason all crimes which are not such in their nature. Rape, buggery, etc., punish by castration. All other crimes by working on high roads, rivers, gallies, etc., a certain time proportioned to the offence... Laws thus proportionate and mild should never be dispensed with. Let mercy be the character of the lawgiver, but let the judge be a mere machine. The mercies of the law will be dispensed equally and impartially to every description of men; those of the judge or of the executive power will be the eccentric impulses of whimsical, capricious designing man.”
Thomas Jefferson

“When people show you who they are ... believe them!”
Oprah Winfrey

“As long as there are slaughter houses there will always be battlefields.”
Leo Tolstoy

Martin Luther King Jr

“How was one to treat alike insulting, insolent and corrupt officials, co-workers of yesterday raising meaningless opposition, and men who had always been good to one?”
Mahatma Gandhi

“Laughter is sweet when enjoyed alone. But it becomes sweeter when you enjoy it together with the people around you. Your success must lead to the success others.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the despotisms, against the powers, against [the master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere. —EPHESIANS 6:12”
Joyce Meyer

“Boredom: the desire for desires.”
Leo Tolstoy

“More and more I come to value charity and love of one's fellow being above everything else...All our lauded technological progress-our very civilization-is like the axe in the hand of the pathological criminal.”
Albert Einstein
