General Quotes

As a leader, one must sometimes take actions that are unpopular, or whose results will not be known for years to come.”
Nelson Mandela

“Every adversity, every unpleasant circumstance, every failure, and every physical pain carries with it the seed of an equivalent benefit.”
Napoleon Hill

“There exists indeed an opposition to it [building of UVA, Jefferson's secular college] by the friends of William and Mary, which is not strong. The most restive is that of the priests of the different religious sects, who dread the advance of science as witches do the approach of day-light; and scowl on it the fatal harbinger announcing the subversion of the duperies on which they live. In this the Presbyterian clergy take the lead. The tocsin is sounded in all their pulpits, and the first alarm denounced is against the particular creed of Doctr. Cooper; and as impudently denounced as if they really knew what it is.
Thomas Jefferson

“I am nothing, truth is everything.”
Abraham Lincoln

Ronald Reagan

“There is an old saying that "by the yard it's hard; but inch by inch, anything's a cinch!”

And his place looked so much like the others that it would never have been noticed, though it all seemed quite exceptional to him.”
Leo Tolstoy

“If I am doing the best I can and people don’t approve, what they think will have to be between them and God.
Joyce Meyer

“Although on a conscious level a man lives for himself, he is actually being used for the attainment of humanity's historical aims. A deed once done becomes irrevocable, and any action comes together over time with millions of actions performed by other people to create historical significance.”
Leo Tolstoy

“I like to describe worry or anxiety as spending today trying to figure out tomorrow. Let's learn to use the time God has given us for today!”
Joyce Meyer

“Everyone feels benevolent if nothing happens to be annoying him at the moment.”
C.S. Lewis

“Accomplish your tasks by one step at each time. Don't cut your coat according to your elder brother's size. Dream big, but start small; do what you can do at a time.”
Israelmore Ayivor
