General Quotes

“To have serpentlike qualities devoid of dovelike qualities is to be passionless, mean, and selfish. To have dovelike without serpentlike qualities is to be sentimental, anemic, and aimless. We must combine strongly marked antitheses.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“He that thinketh he leadeth and hath no one following him is only taking a walk.”
John C. Maxwell

“Not everyone who died had left a "memory" and not everyone who had left a memory had left a "blessed" one. Therefore, not all have died should be tagged "...of a blessed memory”
Israelmore Ayivor

“The Christian says, 'Creatures are not born with desires unless satisfaction for those desires exists. A baby feels hunger: well, there is such a thing as food. A duckling wants to swim: well, there is such a thing as water. Men feel sexual desire: well, there is such a thing as sex. If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world. If none of my earthly pleasures satisfy it, that does not prove that the universe is a fraud. Probably earthly pleasures were never meant to satisfy it, but only to arouse it, to suggest the real thing. If that is so, I must take care, on the one hand, never to despise, or to be unthankful for, these earthly blessings, and on the other, never to mistake them for the something else of which they are only a kind of copy, or echo, or mirage. I must keep alive in myself the desire for my true country, which I shall not find till after death; I must never let it get snowed under or turned aside; I must make it the main object of life to press on to that country and to help others to do the same.”
C.S. Lewis

“I am slow to learn and slow to forget that which I have learned. My mind is like a piece of steel, very hard to scratch any thing on it and almost impossible after you get it there to rub it out.”
Abraham Lincoln

“We must stop assuming that a thing which has never been done before probably cannot be done at all.” —Donald M. Nelson”
John C. Maxwell

“It is neither wealth nor splendor; but tranquility and occupation which give you happiness.”
Thomas Jefferson

“Don’t be determined to never have problems. Be determined to stay full of joy in the midst of your problems.”

“This is what we’re going to do. I asked God for wisdom, and this is the answer I got.” 
Ben Carson

“Sooner or later, we are going to face death; should we be making preparations while we are living?”
Billy Graham

“They are ALWAYS happy and don’t even have to make an effort to be this way. What is their secret? Why them and not me? I used to wonder. Some people are born with a temperament that makes it easy for them to look on the bright side, but even they have to make choices about their thoughts and attitudes toward life. Any person, no matter how naturally inclined they are toward good moods, can have sour, negative thoughts if they don’t choose differently. Your mind, mouth, moods, and attitudes are all intricately connected. First you think, and then your thoughts turn into words that you speak,
Joyce Meyer

“Human beings, all over the earth, have this curious idea that they ought to believe in a certain way, and can't really get rid of it.”
C.S. Lewis

“A house divided against itself cannot stand." I believe this government cannot endure, permanently half slave and half free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved — I do not expect the house to fall — but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing or all the other.”
Abraham Lincoln

“The American Dream became America’s god; wealth and abundance have become the measure of America’s success. But—as recent events have shown—we have been living an illusion.”
Billy Graham

“experience alone does not add value to a life. It’s not necessarily experience that is valuable; it’s the insight people gain because of their experience
John C. Maxwell
