General Quotes

“Many people are driven by the need for approval. They allow the expectations of parents or spouses or children or teachers or friends to control their lives. Many adults are still trying to earn the approval of unpleasable parents. Others are driven by peer pressure, always worried by what others might think. Unfortunately, those who follow the crowd usually get lost in it.”
Rick Warren

Mahatma Gandhi

“It’s the founding ideals that the flag draped over my father’s coffin stand for." Truth: His father was buried in Kenya, never served in the U.S. military. Which flag draped his father’s coffin? And what ideals does the flag that draped his father’s coffin in Kenya stand for?”
Barack Obama

“What he says, even on his knees, about his own sinfulness is all parrot talk.

C.S. Lewis

The way the mind will lean under stress is strongly influenced by training.”
Frank Herbert

“If you can't do it, don't pledge to do it. Don't be a liar; say only what you can do. It's better for you to have a "single sentence" manifesto about your life which is fulfilled than to have 25 chapters' theories about your visions that remain undone!”
Israelmore Ayivor

“Fear can paralyze us and keep us from believing God and stepping out in faith. The devil loves a fearful Christian!”

Bill Gates
