General Quotes

“I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have.”
Thomas Jefferson

“The government is like a baby's alimentary canal, with a happy appetite at one end and no responsibility at the other.”
Ronald Reagan

“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.”
John C. Maxwell

“Courage is not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it.”
Nelson Mandela

“A moral life, without reference to religion, is like a house built upon sand. And religion, divorced from morality, is like “sounding brass, good only for making a noise and breaking heads.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“If Latinos sit out the election instead of saying, ‘We’re gonna punish our enemies and we’re gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us,’ if they don’t see that kind of upsurge in voting in this election, then I think it’s gonna be harder and that’s why I think it’s so important that people focus on voting on November 2.”
Barack Obama

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.”
C.S. Lewis

“Sometimes when people feel strongly about something, that is all they preach about. That is wrong. There needs to be a balance. We need to use common sense even in our spiritual life.
Joyce Meyer

“Meditate. Breathe consciously. Listen. Pay attention. Treasure every moment. Make the connection.” 
Oprah Winfrey

“Gurney says there’s no artistry in killing with the tip, that it should be done with the edge.”
Frank Herbert

“Novelist Victor Hugo believed, "He who every morning plans the transactions of the day and follows out that plan carries a thread that will guide him through the labyrinth of the most busy life . . . But where no plan is laid, where the disposal of time is surrendered merely to the chance of incident, chaos will soon reign.”
John C. Maxwell

“You have to do your own growing no matter how tall your grandfather was.”
Abraham Lincoln

“The happiest people are those who have invested their time in others. The unhappiest people are those who wonder how the world is going to make them happy.”
John C. Maxwell

“We are set in our ways, bound by our perspectives and stuck in our thinking.”
Joel Osteen

“Riches do not respond to wishes. They respond only to definite plans, backed by definite desires, through constant persistence.”
Napoleon Hill
