We all have the same God, we just serve him differently. Rivers, lakes, ponds, streams, oceans all have different names, but they all contain water. So do religions have different names, and they all contain truth, expressed in different ways forms and times. It doesn't matter whether you're a Muslim, a Christian, or a Jew. When you believe in God, you should believe that all people are part of one family. If you love God, you can't love only some of his children. -- Muhammad Ali

Motivational Quotes of All Kinds
"Minds are like parachutes - they only
function when open."
"For every problem, there is one solution
which is simple, neat and wrong."
"I have yet to see any problem, however
complicated, which, when you looked at it in the right way,
did not become
still more complicated."-- Poul Anderson
"If it can't be expressed in figures, it is
not science; it is opinion."
"They that can give up essential liberty to
obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." --
Benjamin Franklin
"Let go of your attachment to being right,
and suddenly your mind is more open. You're able to benefit from the unique
viewpoints of others, without being crippled by your own judgment."
"By the subtle laws of karma, the suffering
we cause others will come back looking for us." -- His Divine Grace A.C.
Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
"It's good to shut up sometimes." --
Marcel Marceau
"I will permit no man to narrow and degrade
my soul by making me hate him."
"Life appears to me too short to be spent in
nursing animosity, or registering wrongs."
"God is a comedian, playing to an audience
too afraid to laugh."
"Real knowledge is to know the extent of
one's ignorance."
"When looking at faults, use a mirror, not a
telescope."
"The whole aim of practical politics is to
keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing
it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." --H.L. Mencken
"It is hard to believe that a man is telling
the truth when you know that you would lie if you were in his place".
H. L. Mencken
"The kind of man who wants the government to
adopt and enforce
"No more than one man in ten, at least in the
United States, is
The rest take money for
"The
urge to save humanity is often a false front for the urge to rule." -- H.L.
Mencken
"A healthy appetite for righteousness, kept
in due control by good manners, is an excellent thing; but to "hunger and
thirst" after it is often merely a symptom of spiritual diabetes". -- C. D.
Broad
"The capacity for getting along with our
neighbor depends to a large extent on the capacity for getting along with
ourselves. The self-respecting individual will try to be as tolerant of his
neighbor's shortcomings as he is of his own".
"The remarkable thing is that we really love
our neighbors as ourselves: we do unto others as we do unto ourselves. We hate
others when we hate ourselves. We are tolerant of others when we tolerate
ourselves. We forgive others when we forgive ourselves. We are prone to
sacrifice others when we are ready to sacrifice ourselves". -- Eric Hoffer
"You accept certain unlovely things about
yourself and manage to live with them. The atonement for such an acceptance is
that you make allowances for others - that you cleanse yourself of the sin of
self-righteousness". -- Eric Hoffer
"Integrity has no need of rules".
"You can tell the man who rings true from the
man who rings false, not by his deeds alone, but also his desires".
"Passionate hatred can give meaning and
purpose to an empty life. Thus people haunted by the purposelessness of their
lives try to find a new content not only by dedicating themselves to a holy
cause but also by nursing a fanatical grievance. A mass movement offers them
unlimited opportunities for both".
"The difference between a moral man and a man
of honor is that the latter regrets a discreditable act, even when it has worked
and he has not been caught."-- H.L. Mencken
"You don't need a weather man
"It is more honorable to repair a wrong than
to persist in it." --Thomas Jefferson
"Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm -- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves". --T.S. Eliot
"The first responsibility of a leader is to
define reality. The last is to say thank you. In between, the leader is a
servant."
"Leadership is the art of getting someone
else to do something you want done because he wants to do it."
Indian Wisdom
An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson
about life.
"A fight is going on inside me," he said to
the boy. "It
is a terrible fight and it is between two
wolves. One is
evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret,
greed, arrogance,
self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority,
lies, false pride,
superiority, and ego.
The other is good - he is joy, peace, love,
hope, serenity,
humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy,
generosity, truth,
compassion, and faith. This same fight is
going on inside
you - and inside every other person, too."
The grandson thought about it for a minute
and then asked his
grandfather, "Which wolf will win?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you
feed."
"We
live in a moment of history where change is so speeded up that we begin to see
the present only when it is already disappearing." -- R. D. Laing, The Politics
of Experience
"The measure of a man's real character is
what he would do if he knew he would never be found out."
"The fastest way to succeed is to look as if
you're playing by somebody else's rules, while quietly playing by your own."
"The right to be heard does not automatically
include the right to be taken seriously."
"Liberty means responsibility. That is why
most men dread it."
"Usually, terrible things that are done with
the excuse that progress requires them are not really progress at all, but just
terrible things."
"Keep away from people who try to belittle
your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel
that you, too, can become great."
"Every
time I've done something that doesn't feel right, it's ended up not being
right". -- Mario Cuomo
"If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity, nothing else matters". -- Alan Simpson, US Senator

your own common sense."-- Buddha

to put up with it." -- Barry Farber

"A fanatic is one who can't change his mind
and won't change the subject."
"America wasn't founded so that we could all
be better. America was founded so we could all be anything we damned well
pleased." -- P. J. O'Rourke
"Giving money and power to government is like
giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys." -- P. J. O'Rourke

don't treat me right – shame on you!" -- Louis Armstrong
"You will not be punished for your anger, you
will be punished by your anger." -- Buddha
"Those who can make you believe in
absurdities can make you commit atrocities!"
"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form
of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote
themselves largesse from the public treasury." -- Alexis de Tocqueville
"He that blows the coals in quarrels that he
has nothing to do with, has no right to complain if the sparks fly in his face."
-- Benjamin Franklin
"When a dog runs at you, whistle for him." --
Henry David Thoreau
"People are usually more firmly convinced
that their opinions are precious than that they are true." -- George Santayana
"A champion doesn’t become a champion in the
ring. He is merely recognized in the ring. The ‘becoming’ happens during his
daily routine." -- Joe Louis
"If you do not take an interest in the
affairs of your government, then you are doomed to live under the rule of
fools."-- Plato
An eye for an eye makes the whole world
blind.-- Mahatma Gandhi
"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury
should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom
should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be
curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of
living on public assistance." --
Marcus Tullius Cicero, 63 BC
“Hate is too great a burden to bear. It
injures the hater more than it injures the hated.” --
Coretta Scott King
I
told my son, “You will marry the girl I choose.”
He said, “NO!”
I
told him, “She is Bill Gates’ daughter.”
He said, “OK.”
I
called Bill Gates and said, “I want your daughter to marry my son.”
Bill
Gates said, “NO.”
I
told Bill Gates, My son is the CEO of World Bank.”
Bill Gates said, “OK.”
I
called the President of World Bank and asked him to make my son the CEO.
He
said, “NO.”
I
told him, “My son is Bill Gates’ son-in-law.”
He said, “OK.”
This
is exactly how politics works . . .
