General Quotes

“An addiction is something that controls people—something they feel they cannot do without or something they do to alleviate pain or pressure. It is what people run to when they are hurting or feel lonely. It comes in many varieties, such as drugs, alcohol, gambling, sex, shopping, eating, work—and yes, even approval. Like any addict, insecure people look for a “fix” when they get shaky. They need someone to reaffirm them and assure them everything is all right and they are acceptable. When a person has an addiction the things they are addicted to are on their mind most of the time. Therefore, if a person is an approval addict, he or she will have an abnormal concern and an abundance of thoughts about what people think of them
Joyce Meyer

“Tax increases don’t eliminate deficits they increase govt. spending.”
Ronald Reagan

“You can't climb the ladder of success dressed in the costume of failure.”
Zig Ziglar

“One of the most widespread superstitions is that every man has his own special, definite qualities; that a man is kind, cruel, wise, stupid, energetic, apathetic, etc. Men are not like that . . . Men are like rivers; the water is the same in each, and alike in all; but every river is narrow here, is more rapid there, here slower, there broader, now clear, now cold, now dull, now warm. It is the same with men. Every man carries in himself the germs of every human quality and sometimes one manifests itself, sometimes another, and the man often becomes unlike himself—while still remaining the same man.”
Leo Tolstoy

“The Bible nowhere teaches that the church will ultimately convert the whole world to Jesus Christ. There has never been a generation in history, nor will there ever be generation, in which the majority of the people will believe in Christ.”
Billy Graham

“As a leader, you don't earn any points for failing in a noble cause. You don't get credit for being "right" as you bring the organization to a halt. Your success is measured by your ability to actually take the people where they need to go. But you can do that only if the people first buy into you as a leader. That's the reality of the Law of Buy-In.”
John C. Maxwell

“It is far easier to live an excellent life among your friends, when you are putting your best foot forward and are conscious of public opinion, than it is to live for Christ in your home.”
Billy Graham

“The moment you have a self at all, there is a possibility of putting yourself first - wanting to be the centre - wanting to be God, in fact. That was the sin of Satan: and that was the sin he taught the human race. Some people think the fall of man had something to do with sex, but that is a mistake...what Satan put into the heads of our remote ancestors was the idea that they 'could be like Gods' - could set up on their own as if they had created themselves - be their own masters - invent some sort of happiness for themselves outside God, apart from God. And out of that hopeless attempt has come...the long terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy.”
C.S. Lewis

“So long as a man does not of his own free will put himself last among his fellow creatures, there is no salvation for him.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“he was one of those diplomats who like and know how to work, and, despite his laziness, he occasionally spent nights at his desk.”
Leo Tolstoy

“it's much better to do good in a way that no one knows anything about it.”
Leo Tolstoy

“I choose a lazy person to do a hard job. Because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it.”
Bill Gates

“Leaders don't pray to God to fill their potholes. They ask God for shovels so they can do it by His grace. Pray practically.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“God never directs in a way contrary to His character. When the Scriptures tell us that He will direct our paths, we can be assured that when He is in control, no matter how thorny the path, He will not tell us to jump off a cliff.”
Billy Graham

“I've heard that hard work never killed anyone, but I say why take the chance?”
Ronald Reagan
