General Quotes

“A young concert violinist was asked the secret of her success. She replied, “Planned neglect.” Then she explained, “When I was in school, there were many things that demanded my time. When I went to my room after breakfast, I made my bed, straightened the room, dusted the floor, and did whatever else came to my attention. Then I hurried to my violin practice. I found I wasn’t progressing as I thought I should, so I reversed things. Until my practice period was completed, I deliberately neglected everything else. That program of planned neglect, I believe, accounts for my success.”
John C. Maxwell

Mahatma Gandhi

“The mold in which a key is made would be a strange thing, if you had never seen a key: and the key itself a strange thing if you had never seen a lock. Your soul has a curious shape because it is a hollow made to fit a particular swelling in the infinite contours of the divine substance, or a key to unlock one of the doors in the house with many mansions. Your place in heaven will seem to be made for you and you alone, because you were made for it -- made for it stitch by stitch as a glove is made for a hand.”
C.S. Lewis

“People who take a long view of their lives and careers always seem to make much better decisions about their time and activities than people who give very little thought to the future.”
Brian Tracy

“If you talk to a man in the language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.”

“anyone in recovery will tell you, setbacks are part of the process in long-term change. Rather than beat myself up, I simply asked God and my friends to help me get back on track.”

“We forgive but not forgotten”
Nelson Mandela

“La mayor parte de las personas buscan la excepción en vez de ser excepcionales.”
John C. Maxwell

“Christianity has no shrines to visit, no dusty remains to venerate, no tombs at which to worship.”
Billy Graham

“El que piensa que dirige y no tiene a nadie siguiéndole, sólo está dando un paseo.”
John C. Maxwell

“You have armed me with strength for the battle.”
Joel Osteen

“Challenges are unavoidable, yet unpredictable! ...but the good news is "every challenge is overcome-able". You are an over-comer. Believe and overcome!”
Israelmore Ayivor
