General Quotes

“Managers work with processes—leaders work with people.”
John C. Maxwell

“People often say that MOTIVATION does not last. Well, neither does bathing. That’s why we recommend it daily.”
Zig Ziglar

“On the first day of school, my teacher, Miss Mdingane, gave each of us an English name and said that from thenceforth that was the name we would answer to in school. This was the custom among Africans in those days and was undoubtedly due to the British bias of our education. The education I received was a British education, in which British ideas, British culture, British institutions, were automatically assumed to be superior. There was no such thing as African culture. Africans of my generation—and even today—generally have both an English and an African name. Whites were either unable or unwilling to pronounce an African name, and considered it uncivilized to have one. That day, Miss Mdingane told me that my new name was Nelson. Why she bestowed this particular name upon me I have no idea. Perhaps it had something to do with the great British sea captain Lord Nelson, but that would be only a guess.”
Nelson Mandela

“Contentment is taking your present situation—whatever obstacles you are facing, whatever limitation you are living with, whatever chronic condition wears you down, whatever has smashed your dreams, whatever factors and circumstances in life tend to push you under—and admitting you don’t like it but never saying, “I can’t cope with it.”
John C. Maxwell

“As you wander on through life, brother, whatever be your goal, keep your eye upon the donut and not upon the hole.”
Joyce Meyer

“Until we accept and approve of ourselves, no amount of approval from others or position in life will keep us permanently secure. The outside approval we seek becomes an addiction. We work to get approval and it feels good for a short while; then we find that we need more and more. True freedom never comes until we fully realize that we don’t need to struggle to get from others what God freely gives us: love, acceptance, approval, security, worth, and value.”
Joyce Meyer

“We must never forget that art is not a form of propaganda; it is a form of truth.”
John F. Kennedy

“Her absence is like the sky, spread over everything.”
C.S. Lewis

“For, in a democracy, every citizen, regardless of his interest in politics, 'holds office'; every one of us is in a position of responsibility; and, in the final analysis, the kind of government we get depends upon how we fulfill those responsibilities. We, the people, are the boss, and we will get the kind of political leadership, be it good or bad, that we demand and deserve.”
John F. Kennedy

“You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help other people get what they want.”
Zig Ziglar

“Humble yourself before the Lord and he will lift you high. People who are gentle, humble and able always have a great ending no matter how small and where obscured they have started!”
Israelmore Ayivor

“Art calls for complete mastery of techniques, developed by reflection within the soul.”
Bruce Lee

“Those who dare to fail miserably can achieve greatly. ”
John F. Kennedy

“The only happy marriages I know are arranged ones.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Do I not destroy my enemies when I make them my friends?”
Abraham Lincoln
