General Quotes

“Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“Whenever you face crunch time in your life or business, mentally call a time-out in the game and focus on getting all the information you can about the situation before you make a decision or overreact.”
Brian Tracy

“A 'No' uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a 'Yes' merely uttered to please, or worse, to avoid trouble.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“Knowledge is only potential power. It becomes power only when, and if, it is organised into definite plans of action and directed to a definite end.”
Napoleon Hill

“He who is ever brooding over result often loses nerve in the performance of his duty. He becomes impatient and then gives vent to anger and begins to do unworthy things; he jumps from action to action never remaining faithful to any. He who broods over results is like a man given to objects of senses; he is ever distracted, he says goodbye to all scruples, everything is right in his estimation and he therefore resorts to means fair and foul to attain”
Mahatma Gandhi

“THE LAW OF COUNTABILITY Teammates Must Be Able to Count on Each Other When It Counts”
John C. Maxwell

“In Varenka, she realized that one has but to forget oneself and love others, and one will be calm, happy, and noble.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Don’t let failure or disappointment cut you off from God or make you think the future is hopeless. When God closes one door, He often opens another—if we seek it.”
Billy Graham

“Our challenges may be new. The instruments with which we meet them may be new. But those values upon which our success depends - honesty and hard work, courage and fair play, tolerance and curiosity, loyalty and patriotism - these things are old. These things are true. They have been the quiet force of progress throughout our history. What is demanded then is a return to these truths. What is required of us now is a new era of responsibility - a recognition, on the part of every American, that we have duties to ourselves, our nation, and the world, duties that we do not grudgingly accept but rather seize gladly, firm in the knowledge that there is nothing so satisfying to the spirit, so defining of our character, than giving our all to a difficult task.”
Barack Obama

“It is often said that the invention of terrible weapons of destruction will put an end to war. That is an error. As the means of extermination are improved, the means of reducing men whohold the state conception of life to submission can be improved to correspond. They may slaughter them by thousands, by millions, they may tear them to pieces, still they will march to war like senseless cattle. Some will want beating to make them move, others will be proud to go if they are allowed to wear a scrap of ribbon or gold lace.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Any amount of theology can now be smuggled into people's minds under the cover of fiction without their knowing it.”
C.S. Lewis

“Hard tasks need hard ways.”
Frank Herbert

“You are what you read.”
Kenneth E. Hagin

“If the answer is simple, God is speaking.”
Albert Einstein

“You cannot always control what happens to you, but you can control what happens in you.”
John C. Maxwell
