General Quotes

“How to prepare someone for leadership: I do it. I do it and you watch. You do it and I watch. You do it. You do it and someone else watches.” 
John C. Maxwell

“Nothing but ambition, nothing but the desire to get on, that's all there is in his soul," she thought; "as for these lofty ideals, love of culture, religion, they are only so many tools for getting on.”
Leo Tolstoy

“If you love Me, you will obey Me” (see John 14:21). To say “I love Jesus” and walk in disobedience is deception. Words are wonderful, but a full love walk must be much more than words.”
Joyce Meyer

“If this is coffee, please bring me some tea; but if this is tea, please bring me some coffee.”
Abraham Lincoln

“Whatever you find to be very difficult for you, believe it that it’s never difficult if you do something little about it every day!”
Israelmore Ayivor

“There are two days in the year that we can not do anything, yesterday and tomorrow”
Mahatma Gandhi

“There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.”
Nelson Mandela

“Thomas Paine wrote the first of his “American Crisis” articles in 1776. On Christmas Eve, Washington ordered that Paine’s words be read to the troops to inspire them as they prepared to attack a much larger troop of enemy forces. The message was effective; the next day, the four thousand American soldiers surprised the twenty thousand Hessian fighters and won a victory that restored American morale. Paine’s words were written nearly 240 years ago, but they are just as compelling today as they were then: These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country, but he that stands it NOW, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: ’tis dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods, and it would be strange indeed, if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated.3 Fellow Americans, our nation faces a new crisis today. Once again, our freedom will come at the price of courage, strength, and faith. The future is in our hands.”
Ben Carson

“The evangelist cannot bring conviction of sin, righteousness, or judgment; that is the Spirit’s work. They cannot convert anyone; that is the Spirit’s work.”
Billy Graham

“The only step that makes the valuable to become valueless is the negative side of your eyes that you use to see it.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“They forbid the use of the word slavery by conservatives, the mention of Nazism by conservatives, or the mention of homosexuality in anything other than a positive context, to name a few of their rules.”
Ben Carson

“The history of the world is full of men who rose to leadership, by sheer force of self-confidence, bravery and tenacity.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“Setting an example is not the main means of influencing others, it is the only means.”
Albert Einstein

“I will not say that we may not sooner or later be compelled to meet force by force; but the time has not yet come, and if we are true to ourselves, may never come. Do not mistake that the ballot is stronger than the bullet. Therefore let the legions of slavery use bullets; but let us wait patiently till November, and fire ballots at them in return; and by that peaceful policy, I believe we shall ultimately win.”
Abraham Lincoln

“Dare to be competent. Competency is what makes everyone remain at peace when things are being handled by you. Watch yourself if everyone feels uncomfortable just because it’s you doing it.”
Israelmore Ayivor
