General Quotes

“I am almost inclined to set it up as a canon that a children's story which is enjoyed only by children is a bad children's story.”
C.S. Lewis

“Pain prompts us to face who we are and where we are. What we do with that experience defines who we become.”
John C. Maxwell

“Good thoughts and actions can never produce bad results; bad thoughts and actions can never produce good results.”
John C. Maxwell

“He had the unlucky capacity many men have of seeing and believing in the possibility of goodness and truth, but of seeing the evil and falsehood of life too clearly to take any serious part in it.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Don't go in for the "yellowish" if what you need is "yellow". The attitude called precision is the quality that remarks the accuracy of your demand. Never settle for the less; Go for the exact thing!”

“When people at dinner parties ask me how I can possibly operate in the current political environment, with all the negative campaigning and personal attacks, I may mention Nelson Mandela, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, or some guy in a Chinese or Egyptian prison somewhere.

Ronald Reagan

Leo Tolstoy

“Even if you love your current job and don’t work in a hostile environment, you can still learn how to better equip yourself for when conflict and trials do come around. And believe me, sooner or later they always come around! For the devil can’t stand for God’s people to advance His causes without a fight. So if your present workplace isn’t hostile, then thank the Lord for this wonderful respite and use it to train yourself for when you will be sitting across the boardroom from a devil in disguise.”
T.D. Jakes

“Be sure it is not for nothing that the Landlord has knit our hearts so closely to time and place – to one friend rather than another and one shire more than all the land.”
C.S. Lewis

“Sometimes I’m asked to list the most important steps in preparing for an evangelistic mission, and my reply is always the same: prayer . . . prayer . . . prayer.”
Billy Graham

“God can never be realised by one who is not pure of heart. Self-purification therefore must mean purification in all the walks of life.”

“You cannot afford to be too busy to pray.”
Billy Graham
