General Quotes

“And you will have greater credibility with your leader if you admit your shortcomings and refrain from making excuses.”
John C. Maxwell

“The third, most important, and unfortunately most widespread justification is, at bottom, the age-old religious one just a little altered: that in public life the suppression of some for the protection of the majority cannot be avoided—so that coercion is unavoidable however desirable reliance on love alone might be in human intercourse. The only difference in this justification by pseudo-science consists in the fact that, to the question why such and such people and not others have the right to decide against whom violence may and must be used, pseudo-science now gives a different reply to that given by religion—which declared that the right to decide was valid because it was pronounced by persons possessed of divine power. 'Science' says that these decisions represent the will of the people, which under a constitutional form of government is supposed to find expression in all the decisions and actions of those who are at the helm at the moment.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“It is precisely this collision of immoral power with powerless morality which constitutes the major crisis of our times.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“Be sure that your motive in praying is to glorify God.”
Billy Graham

What did that show? It showed that he had lived well, but thought badly.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Dios ve el valor que usted tiene, y sabe en lo que le está convirtiendo. A veces nos miramos a nosotros mismos y pensamos: “Tengo muchas imperfecciones. Tengo mal genio. Tengo un problema con mi boca. No soy tan disciplinado”. Vemos el barro, pero Dios ve la hermosa taza. La buena noticia es que usted no es un producto terminado. Dios sigue obrando, y si trabaja usted con Dios y le permite eliminar esas impurezas, Él hará más con su vida de lo que usted nunca soñó.”
Joel Osteen

“The Bible offers three metaphors that teach us God’s view of life: Life is a test, life is a trust, and life is a temporary assignment. These ideas are the foundation of purpose-driven living.”
Rick Warren

“Feeling like the voice she liked best in all the world was calling her name.”
C.S. Lewis

“It is said that no one truly knows a nation until one has been inside its jails. A nation should not be judged by how it treats its highest citizens, but its lowest ones.”
Nelson Mandela

“There is no room for God’s Word in our culture, where our children are without reverence for God or faith in the Bible. There is no room for our Lord’s creed of purity and self-denial when the media sends forth a constant barrage of profanity and indecency and materialism.”
Billy Graham

“I trust that everything happens for a reason, even if we are not wise enough to see it.”
Oprah Winfrey

“All your scholarship would be in vain if at the same time you do not build your character and attain mastery over your thoughts and your actions.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“During a crisis period, a desperate attempt is made by the extremists to influence the minds of the liberal forces in the ruling majority. So, for example, in the present transition white Southerners attempt to convince Northern whites that the Negroes are inherently criminal.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“Someone has said that death is not a period, but a comma in the story of life.”
Billy Graham

“When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”
C.S. Lewis
