General Quotes

“Happiness simply cannot be relied upon as a measure of success.”
John C. Maxwell

“Leaders don’t call unhappy followers “ungrateful people”. They see them as “lesson teachers”. They find out why they are unhappy; perhaps it could be as a result of their attitudes. That informs them to change!”
Israelmore Ayivor

“Today our nation is in such shambles that it appears that almost anyone could do a better job of execution than the current leaders. The principal problem appears to be a lack of congruency between the president and the people. His goal seems to be a utopian society managed by the government, rather than the free, self-governing society that the founders left us. Americans want to be free, and the president’s approval ratings indicate that “we the People” do not agree with his goals. I pray that the next president will have a set of values that matches those of the majority of Americans. I pray that he will use his power to encourage the “can-do” attitude that characterized America’s rapid ascent to the pinnacle of the world.”
Ben Carson

“The quality, not the longevity, of one's life is what is important.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“One of the realities we're all called to go through is to move from repulsion to compassion and from compassion to wonderment.”
Mother Teresa

“You may be 38 years old, as I happen to be. And one day, some great opportunity stands before you and calls you to stand up for some great principle, some great issue, some great cause. And you refuse to do it because you are afraid…. You refuse to do it because you want to live longer…. You’re afraid that you will lose your job, or you are afraid that you will be criticized or that you will lose your popularity, or you’re afraid that somebody will stab you, or shoot at you or bomb your house; so you refuse to take the stand. Well, you may go on and live until you are 90, but you’re just as dead at 38 as you would be at 90. And the cessation of breathing in your life is but the belated announcement of an earlier death of the spirit.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“first things that a hurting person needs to do is break the habit of using other people as a narcotic to numb the dull aching of an inner void.”
T.D. Jakes

“But God’s presence in your life has nothing to do with your feelings. Your emotions are susceptible to all kinds of influences, so they are often unreliable. Sometimes the worst advice you can get is “Do what you feel.” Often what we feel is neither real nor right. Your emotional state can be the result of memories, hormones, medicines, food, lack of sleep, tension, or fears. Whenever I start to feel anxious about a situation, I remind myself that fear is often False Evidence Appearing Real.”
Rick Warren

“understood more clearly in the light of the Gita teaching the implication of the word ‘trustee’.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“We the uninformed, working for the inaccessible, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful!”
John C. Maxwell

“Leaders don't venture without vision. They don't pray without plans. They don't climb without clues. They are always prepared.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“Nothing will help us grow spiritually more than spending time alone with God every day, reading His Word and praying. Time alone with God is essential to our spiritual welfare.”
Billy Graham

“but my life now, my whole life apart from anything that can happen to me, every minute of it is no more meaningless, as it was before, but it has the positive meaning of goodness, which I have the power to put into it.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Friends we shall never be, you know that yourself. Whether we shall be the happiest or the wretchedest of people--that's in your hands.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Pero no nos lamentemos por la falta de justicia mientras tengamos brazos y seamos libres para usarlos.”
Frank Herbert
