General Quotes

“There is a difference between WISHING for a thing and being READY to receive it. No one is ready for a thing, until he believes he can acquire it. The state of mind must be BELIEF, not mere hope or wish. Open-mindedness is essential for belief.”
Napoleon Hill

“If you are a leader, the true measure of your success is not getting people to work. It’s not getting people to work hard. It is getting people to work hard together. That takes commitment.”
John C. Maxwell

“Send him to the devil, I'm busy.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Without patience, we will learn less in life. We will see less. We will feel less. We will hear less. Ironically, rush and more usually mean less.”
Mother Teresa

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

“Of all machines, the human heart is the most complicated and inexplicable.”
Thomas Jefferson

“Measured against eternity, our time on earth is just a blink of an eye, but the consequences of it will last forever.”
Rick Warren

“Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“Each of us is merely a small instrument; all of us, after accomplishing our mission, will disappear.”
Mother Teresa

“Real leaders have something to give, and they give it freely. Anthony DeMello saw a starving child shivering in the cold. Angrily he lifted his eyes to heaven and said, “God, how could you allow such suffering? Why don’t you do something?” There was a long silence and then DeMello was startled when he heard the voice of God answer him, “I certainly have done something—I made you.”
John C. Maxwell

“When God forgives us and purifies us of our sin, He also forgets it. Forgiveness results in God dropping the charges against us.”
Billy Graham

“The doctrine of Christ, which teaches love, humility, and self-denial, had always attracted me. But I found a contrary law, both in the history of the past and in the present organization of our lives – a law repugnant to my heart, my conscience, and my reason, but one that flattered my animal instincts. I knew that if I accepted the doctrine of Christ, I should be forsaken, miserable, persecuted, and sorrowing, as Christ tells us His followers will be. I knew that if I accepted that law of man, I should have the approbation of my fellow-men; I should be at peace and in safety; all possible sophisms would be at hand to quiet my conscience and I should ‘laugh and be merry,’ as Christ says. I felt this, and therefore I avoided a closer examination of the law of Christ, and tried to comprehend it in a way that should not prevent my still leading my animal life. But, finding that impossible, I desisted from all attempts at comprehension.”
Leo Tolstoy

“We are healed to help others. We are blessed to be a blessing. We are saved to serve, not to sit around and wait for heaven.”
Rick Warren

“If you focus on your problems or your frustrations, your attitude is going to be negative and defeated. But when you put your focus on God and His promises for your life, your attitude will immediately change.”
Joyce Meyer

“The late Dr. Harry Ironside once said, “Beware lest we mistake our prejudices for our convictions.” To be sure, we must deplore wickedness, evil, and wrongdoing, but our commendable intolerance of sin too often develops into a deplorable intolerance of sinners. Jesus hates sin but loves the sinner.”
Billy Graham
