General Quotes

“It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.”
C.S. Lewis

“And once he had seen this, he could never again see it otherwise, just as we cannot reconstruct an illusion once it has been explained.”
Leo Tolstoy

“No individual has any right to come into the world and go out of it without leaving behind him distinct and legitimate reasons for having passed through it.”
George Washington

“There are people who, on meeting a successful rival, no matter in what, are at once disposed to turn their backs on everything good in him, and to see only what is bad. There are people, on the other hand, who desire above all to find in that lucky rival the qualities by which he has outstripped them, and seek with a throbbing ache at heart only what is good.”
Leo Tolstoy

“First. I know that I have the ability to achieve the object of my Definite Purpose in life, therefore, I demand of myself persistent, continuous action toward its attainment, and I here and now promise to render such action.”
Napoleon Hill

“Priorities versus Posteriorities Setting priorities requires setting posteriorities as well. A priority is something that you do more of and sooner, whereas a posteriority is something you do less of or later. You are probably already overwhelmed with too much to do and too little time. Because of this, for you to embark on a new task, you must discontinue an old task. Getting into something new requires getting out of another activity. Before you commit to a new undertaking, ask yourself, “What am I going to stop doing so that I have enough time to work on this new task?” Go through your life regularly and practice “creative abandonment”: Consciously determine the activities that you are going to discontinue so that you have more time to spend on those tasks that can really make a difference to your future.”
Brian Tracy

“The only thing that we know is that we know nothing, and that is the highest flight of human wisdom.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Everybody looks at their poop.”
Oprah Winfrey

“Divorce is not merely separating; it is the tearing apart of what was once joined together.”
T.D. Jakes

Pooh! Grown-ups are always thinking of uninteresting explanations.”
C.S. Lewis

“Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.”
Mother Teresa

“unity to be real must survive the severest strain without breaking.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“Worldly Christians look to God primarily for personal fulfillment. They are saved, but self-centered. They love to attend concerts and enrichment seminars, but you would never find them at a missions conference because they aren’t interested. Their prayers focus on their own needs, blessings, and happiness. It’s a “me-first” faith: How can God make my life more comfortable? They want to use God for their purposes instead of being used for his purposes.”
Rick Warren

“All the nations that make up the world are burdened down with riches or poverty, obesity or malnutrition, success or failure.”
Billy Graham

“The hope of a secure and livable world lies with disciplined nonconformists who are dedicated to justice, peace and brotherhood.”
Martin Luther King Jr
