General Quotes

“A man’s best recommendation is that which he gives himself . . . by rendering superior service in the right mental attitude.”
Napoleon Hill

“If you will focus on meeting other people’s needs, God will always make sure your needs are supplied. God will take care of your problems for you.”
Joel Osteen

“Stepan Arkadyevitch was a truthful man in his relations with himself. He was incapable of deceiving himself and persuading himself that he repented of his conduct. He could not at this date repent of the fact that he, a handsome, susceptible man of thirty-four, was not in love with his wife, the mother of five living and two dead children, and only a year younger than himself. All he repented of was that he had not succeeded better in hiding it from his wife. But he felt all the difficulty of his position and was sorry for his wife, his children, and himself. Possibly he might have managed to conceal his sins better from his wife if he had anticipated that the knowledge of them would have had such an effect on her. He had never clearly thought out the subject, but he had vaguely conceived that his wife must long ago have suspected him of being unfaithful to her, and shut her eyes to the fact. He had even supposed that she, a worn- out woman no longer young or good-looking, and in no way remarkable or interesting, merely a good mother, ought from a sense of fairness to take an indulgent view. It had turned out quite the other way.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Human knowledge and skills alone cannot lead humanity to a happy and dignified life.”
Albert Einstein

“Now the trumpet summons us again—not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need; not as a call to battle, though embattled we are—but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, year in and year out, "rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation"—a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease, and war itself.
John F. Kennedy

“The ability to discipline yourself to delay gratification in the short term in order to enjoy greater rewards in the long term, is the indispensable prerequisite for success.”
Brian Tracy

“... one doesn't need telepathy to read your intentions.”
Frank Herbert

“Pigmentation was a quick and convenient way of judging a person. One of us, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., once proposed we instead judge people by the content of their character. He was shot.”

Martin Luther King Jr

“Who am I? I am that which thou hast searched for since thy baby eyes gazed wonderingly upon the world, whose horizon hides this real life from thee. I am that which in thy heart thou hast prayed for, demanded as thy birthright, although thou hast not known what it was. I am that which has lain in thy soul for hundreds and thousands of years. Sometimes I lay in thee grieving because thou didst not recognize me; sometimes I raised my head, opened my eyes, and extended my arms calling thee either tenderly and quietly, or strenuously, demanding that thou shouldst rebel against the iron chains which bound thee to the earth.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Courage is a habit that is learned by acting courageously whenever the quality of courage is required.”
Brian Tracy

“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men.”
Rick Warren

“But neither of them dared speak of it, and not having expressed the one thing that occupied their thoughts, whatever they said rang false.”
Leo Tolstoy

“The Harkonnens discouraged investigation of the spice, didn’t they?”
Frank Herbert

“To do his best, one needs a confidence that says, "I can do anything, and if I can't do it, I know how to get help.”
Ben Carson

“Vronsky saw nothing and no one. He felt himself as a king, not because she had made an impression on Anna-he did not yet believe that-but because the impression she had made on him gave him happiness and pride.”
Leo Tolstoy
