General Quotes

“Education does not mean teaching people what they do not know. It means teaching them to behave as they do not behave.”
Abraham Lincoln

“Life's battles don't always go To the stronger of faster man, But soon or later the man who wins Is the man who thinks he can!”
Napoleon Hill

“Failure is an event not a person” 
Zig Ziglar

“You can have anything you want if you want it badly enough. You can be anything you want to be, do anything you set out to accomplish if you hold to that desire with singleness of purpose.”
Abraham Lincoln

“If you serve a child a rotten hamburger in America, federal, state, and local agencies will investigate you, summon you, close you down, whatever. But if you provide a child with a rotten education, nothing happens, except that you're liable to be given more money to do it with. Well, we've discovered that money alone isn't the answer.”
Ronald Reagan

“Talent is the capacity to direct concentrated attention upon the subject: "the gift of seeing what others have not seen.”
Leo Tolstoy

“I must make two honest confessions to you, my Christian and Jewish brothers. First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season." Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“[God] seeks us in dark places and suffers with us in our tragic prodigality.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“Some think that emulating those we admire makes us more effective and guarantees the result they exhibit. The goal is not to duplicate someone else’s greatness or purpose, destiny or creativity.”
T.D. Jakes

“Surrender yourself to the Lord, and wait patiently for him.”
Rick Warren

“It takes humility to seek feedback. It takes wisdom to understand it, analyze it and appropriately act on it.”
John C. Maxwell

“When you fall down, rise up. When you fall again, rise up again. This is just a developmental process that makes a healthy baby become a successful man.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“They were really getting quite fond of their strange pet and hoped that Aslan would allow them to keep it. The cleverer ones were quite sure by now that at least some of the noises which came out of his mouth had a meaning. They christened him Brandy because he made that noise so often.”
C.S. Lewis

“Confrontation is the special business of young people. They confront their parents, peers, society, law enforcement officers, and themselves, but primarily they confront God.”
Billy Graham

“Fear of competition from followers. The leader who fears that one of his followers may take his position is practically sure to realize that fear sooner or later.”
Napoleon Hill
