General Quotes

“As he continued, one could see obvious disappointment on the faces of the white committee members. By trying to convince the Negroes that I was the main obstacle to a solution they had hoped to divide us among ourselves. But Ralph’s statement left no doubt. From this moment on the white group saw the futility of attempting to negotiate us into a compromise.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“The main reason for the terrible cruelty between men today, apart from the absence religion, is still the refined complexity of life which shields people from the consequences of their actions. However cruel Attila, Genghis Khan and their followers may have been, the act of killing people personally, face to face, must have been unpleasant: the wailing relatives and the presence of the corpses. And thus their cruelty was restrained. Nowadays we kill people through such a complex process of communication, and the consequences of our cruelty are so carefully removed and concealed from us, that there is no restraint on the bestiality of the action.”
Leo Tolstoy

“It all boils down to one thing...it is your ‘relationship’ to the source, and that relationship to that which we call God, or don’t call God, or don’t even know...is God. It is ALL that really matters...when you surrender, and stop resisting, and stop trying to change that which you cannot change, but be in the moment, be fully open to the blessings you have already received, and those that are yet to come to you, and stand in that space of gratitude, and honor, and claim that for yourself, and look at where you are, and how far you have come, and what you’ve gotten, and what you’ve accomplished, and who you are. When you can claim ‘that’, and see that, the literal vibration of your life will change. The Vibration of Your Life Will Change.”
Oprah Winfrey

“The only species of human beings that are immune to failure are those that are dead and gone. Failure is constant; just prepare to deal with it!”

“Do not by any means destroy yourself, for if you live you may yet have good fortune, but all the dead are dead like.”
C.S. Lewis

“People often say motivation doesn’t last. Neither does bathing—that’s why we recommend it daily.”
Zig Ziglar

“I look forward to an America which will not be afraid of grace and beauty”
John F. Kennedy

“What I think about vivisection is that if people admit that they have the right to take or endanger the life of living beings for the benefit of many, there will be no limit to their cruelty.”
Leo Tolstoy

“If there were no heaven and no hell, I would still want to be a Christian because of what it does for our homes and our own families in this life.”

Billy Graham
