General Quotes

“In writing. Don't use adjectives which merely tell us how you want us to feel about the thing you are describing. I mean, instead of telling us a thing was "terrible," describe it so that we'll be terrified. Don't say it was "delightful"; make us say "delightful" when we've read the description. You see, all those words (horrifying, wonderful, hideous, exquisite) are only like saying to your readers, "Please will you do my job for me."
C.S. Lewis

“You cannot expect victory and plan for defeat.”
Joel Osteen

“I am thankful to all those who said NO to me. It's because of them, I did it myself”
Albert Einstein

“Mere improvement is not redemption, though redemption always improves people”
C.S. Lewis

“I believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute - where no Catholic prelate would tell the President (should he be Catholic) how to act, and no Protestant minister would tell his parishioners for whom to vote - where no church or church school is granted any public funds or political preference - and where no man is denied public office merely because his religion differs from the President who might appoint him or the people who might elect him. I believe in an America that is officially neither Catholic, Protestant nor Jewish - where no public official either requests or accepts instructions on public policy from the Pope, the National Council of Churches or any other ecclesiastical source - where no religious body seeks to impose its will directly or indirectly upon the general populace or the public acts of its officials - and where religious liberty is so indivisible that an act against one church is treated as an act against all.
John F. Kennedy

“There is no noise as powerful as the sound of the marching feet of a determined people.”

Jim Stovall

“He soon felt that the realization of his longing gave him only one grain of the mountain of bliss he had anticipated. That realization showed him the eternal error men make by imagining that happiness consists in the gratification of their wishes.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less. Humility is thinking more of others.”
Rick Warren

“You can not live your life just based on what everyone else thinks.”
Joyce Meyer

“Getting to the top should be a priority, but being aware of the reason for getting there should be the focus!”
Israelmore Ayivor

“The mind commands the body and it obeys. The mind orders itself and meets resistance.”
Frank Herbert

“As long as the struggle was down in Alabama and Mississippi, they could look afar and think about it and say how terrible people are. When they discovered brotherhood had to be a reality in Chicago and that brotherhood extended to next door, then those latent hostilities came out.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“Servants think like stewards, not owners.”
