“A leader with confidence is a leader who brings out positive changes in people.”
John C. Maxwell

“Like a tourist, I watched the range of human possibility on display, trying to trace out my future in the lives of the people I saw, looking for some opening through which I could reenter.”
Barack Obama

“At that moment it meant nothing to him who might be standing over him, or what was said of him; he was only glad that people were standing near him and only wished that they would help him and bring him back to life, which seemed to him so beautiful now that he had today learned to understand it so differently.”
Leo Tolstoy

“The fantastical idea of virtue and the public good being a sufficient security to the state against the commission of crimes...was never mine. It is only the sanguinary hue of our penal laws which I meant to object to. Punishments I know are necessary, and I would provide them strict and inflexible, but proportioned to the crime. Death might be inflicted for murder and perhaps for treason, [but I] would take out of the description of treason all crimes which are not such in their nature. Rape, buggery, etc., punish by castration. All other crimes by working on high roads, rivers, gallies, etc., a certain time proportioned to the offence... Laws thus proportionate and mild should never be dispensed with. Let mercy be the character of the lawgiver, but let the judge be a mere machine. The mercies of the law will be dispensed equally and impartially to every description of men; those of the judge or of the executive power will be the eccentric impulses of whimsical, capricious designing man.”
Thomas Jefferson

“There is one irrefutable law of the universe: We are each responsible for our own life.”
Oprah Winfrey

“Even I never dreamed of Magic like this!”
C.S. Lewis

“The true leader serves. Serves people. Serves their best interests, and in so doing will not always be popular, may not always impress. But because true leaders are motivated by loving concern, rather than a desire for personal glory, they are willing to pay the price
John C. Maxwell

“You must be always hungry and thirsty.” The Baron caressed his bulges beneath the suspensors. “Like me.”
Frank Herbert

“If I preached unity, I must act like a unifier, even at the risk of perhaps alienating some of my own colleagues.”
Nelson Mandela

“Appearances matter — and remember to smile.”
Nelson Mandela

“Even the choicest words lose their power when they are used to overpower.”
John C. Maxwell

“Earth is the insane asylum of the universe.”
Albert Einstein

“Only God can thwart the plans of Satan and his legions.”
Billy Graham

“No individual has any right to come into the world and go out of it without leaving behind him distinct and legitimate reasons for having passed through it.”
George Washington
