“I can control my feelings by controlling my thoughts.”
John C. Maxwell

“What is reason given me for, if I am not to use it to avoid bringing unhappy beings into the world!”
Leo Tolstoy

“When you go to church you are really listening-in to the secret wireless from out friends: that is why the enemy is so anxious to prevent us from going. He does it by playing on our conceit and laziness and intellectual snobbery.”
C.S. Lewis

“Don’t receive condemnation when you have setbacks or bad days. Just get back up, dust yourself off, and start again.”
Joyce Meyer

“Father! Can I box him? Please!” 
C.S. Lewis

“War is the most painful act of subjection to the laws of God that can be required of the human will.”
Leo Tolstoy

“There are those who say that all roads lead to God. But Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” [John 14:6 KJV].”
Billy Graham

“You must begin with God.”
Rick Warren

“A lot of shelter dogs are mutts like me.”
Barack Obama

“I always stay hungry, never satisfied with current accomplishments.”
Arnold Schwarzenegger

“At the advent of danger there are always two voices that speak with equal force in the human heart: one very reasonably invites a man to consider the nature of the peril and the means of escaping it; the other, with a still greater show of reason, argues that it is too depressing and painful to think of the danger since it is not in man's power to foresee everything and avert the general march of events, and it is better therefore to shut one's eyes to the disagreeable until it actually comes, and to think instead of what is pleasant. When a man is alone he generally listens to the first voice; in the company of his fellow-men, to the second.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Whenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government”
Thomas Jefferson

“You can be good for the mere sake of goodness; you cannot be bad for the mere sake of badness. You can do a kind action when you are not feeling kind and when it gives you no pleasure, simply because kindness is right; but no one ever did a cruel action simply because cruelty is wrong - only because cruelty is pleasant or useful to him, In other words, badness cannot succeed even in being bad in the same way in which goodness is good. Goodness is, so to speak, itself: badness is only spoiled goodness. And there must be something good first before it can be spoiled.”
C.S. Lewis

“Play the game for more than you can afford to lose . . . only then will you learn the game.” 
Zig Ziglar

“As it stands today we have too many lawyers in government — many of whom are very smart and decent people — but they are not immune from acting like lawyers. Consequently, we have far too much regulatory legislation. Also, what do many lawyers learn in law school? They learn to win by hook or by crook; it doesn’t matter how you fight as long as you win. Imagine a roomful of Democratic and Republican lawyers, each with one overriding goal to win, and this certainly helps one understand the distasteful partisan politics that characterizes Congress today.”
Ben Carson
