General Quotes

“Failure is a trickster with a keen sense of irony and cunning. It takes great delight in tripping one when success is almost within reach”
Napoleon Hill

“Non-violence is a good policy when conditions permit.”
Nelson Mandela

“It’s sad to say, but as much as I cared for the Old Man, and worried about him, I was glad not to have to live with him. I just left him to himself and never looked back.”
Barack Obama

“A moderated religion is as good for us as no religion at all—and more amusing.” 
C.S. Lewis

“What is the best thing that happens if we refuse to abide by the dictates of political correctness? I believe that we could return to a nation that truly cherishes freedom of speech and freedom of expression.”
Ben Carson

“INSUFFICIENT EDUCATION. This is a handicap that may be overcome with comparative ease. Experience has proven that the best-educated people are often those who are known as ‘self-made’ or self-educated. It takes more than a university degree to make one a person of education. Any person who is educated has learned to get whatever they want in life without violating the rights of others. Education consists not so much of knowledge, but of knowledge effectively and persistently applied. People are paid not merely for what they know, but more particularly for what they do with what they know.”
Napoleon Hill

“Books serve to show a man that those original thoughts of his aren't very new after all.”
Abraham Lincoln

“Recently I took my daughter Elizabeth out to a restaurant for lunch. The waitress, whose job it was to take care of people, made us feel that we were really inconveniencing her. She was grumpy, negative, and unhelpful. All of her customers were aware of the fact that she was having a bad day. Elizabeth looked up at me and said, “Dad, she’s a grump, isn’t she?” I could only agree with a look of disdain. Halfway through our experience I tried to change this woman’s negative attitude. Pulling out a $10 bill, I said, “Could you do me a favor? I’d like some change for this $10 bill because I want to give you a good tip today.” She looked at me, did a double take, and then ran to the cash register. After changing the money, she spent the next fifteen minutes hovering over us. I thanked her for her service, told her how important and helpful she was, and left a good tip. As we left, Elizabeth said, “Daddy, did you see how that lady changed?” Seizing this golden opportunity, I said, “Elizabeth, if you want people to act right toward you, you act right toward them. And many times you’ll change them.”
John C. Maxwell

“You have armed me with strength for the battle.”
Joel Osteen

“Concentrated power has always been the enemy of liberty”
Ronald Reagan

“If they won't write the kind of books we like to read we shall have to write them ourselves.”
C.S. Lewis

“I suffered most from the feeling that custom was daily petrifying our lives into one fixed shape, that our minds were losing their freedom and becoming enslaved to the steady passionless course of time.”
Leo Tolstoy

“It is our American habit if we find the foundations of our educational structure unsatisfactory to add another story or wing.”
Albert Einstein

“If you judge people, you have no time to love them...”
Mother Teresa

“To walk out of His will is to walk into nowhere.”
