General Quotes

“He spoke with such self-confidence that his hearers could not be sure whether what he said was very witty or very stupid.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Just because we cannot see clearly the end of the road, that is no reason for not setting out on the essential journey.” 
John F. Kennedy

“Do not take the agenda that someone else has mapped out for your life.”
John C. Maxwell

“War is not a polite recreation but the vilest thing in life, and we ought to understand that and not play at war. Our attitude towards the fearful necessity of war ought to be stern. It boils down to this: we should have done with humbug, and let war be war and not a game. Otherwise, war is a favourite pastime of the idle and frivolous...”
Leo Tolstoy

“The most amazing thing about the world is that we understand it.”
Albert Einstein

“There comes a time when people get tired of being trampled over by the iron feet of oppression.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“Leadership is more disposition than position—influence others from wherever you are.”
John C. Maxwell

“The wheels of [God’s] mercy and justice move quietly and silently, but they do move.”
Billy Graham

“You must ask for God's help. Even when you have done so, it may seem to you for a long time that no help, or less help than you need, is being given. Never mind. After each failure, ask forgiveness, pick yourself up, and try again. Very often what God first helps us towards is not the virtue itself but just this power of always trying again.”
C.S. Lewis

Galileo once wrote, "You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him find it within himself.”
Brian Tracy

“If we magnified our successes as much as we magnify our disappointments, we'd all be much happier”
Abraham Lincoln

“Violence never really deals with the basic evil of the situation. Violence may murder the murderer, but it doesn’t murder murder. Violence may murder the liar, but it doesn’t murder lie; it doesn’t establish truth. Violence may even murder the dishonest man, but it doesn’t murder dishonesty. Violence may go to the point of murdering the hater, but it doesn’t murder hate. It may increase hate. It is always a descending spiral leading nowhere. This is the ultimate weakness of violence: It multiplies evil and violence in the universe. It doesn’t solve any problems.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“Success means doing the best we can with what we have. Success is the doing, not the getting; in the trying, not the triumph. Success is a personal standard, reaching for the highest that is in us, becoming all that we can be.”
Zig Ziglar

“So often the contemporary church is a weak, ineffectual voice with an uncertain sound. So often it is an archdefender of the status quo. Far from being disturbed by the presence of the church, the power structure of the average community is consoled by the church’s silent—and often even vocal—sanction of things as they are. But the judgment of God is upon the church as never before. If today’s church does not recapture the sacrificial spirit of the early church, it will lose its authenticity, forfeit the loyalty of millions, and be dismissed as an irrelevant social club with no meaning for the twentieth century. Every day I meet young people whose disappointment with the church has turned into outright disgust.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“Instant obedience will teach you more about God than a lifetime of Bible discussions. ”
Rick Warren
