“Get Ready, Get Ready!”
T.D. Jakes

“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

“Learning to write is learning to think. You don’t know anything clearly unless you can state it in writing.”
John C. Maxwell

“That is one of the functions of art: to present what the narrow and desperately practical perspectives of real life exclude.”
C.S. Lewis

“One filled with joy preaches without preaching.”
Mother Teresa

“One of the greatest statements you can ever make on earth is to say “I am right, but I may be wrong”. Find out where you go wrong and make corrections!”
Israelmore Ayivor

“Always touch a person's heart before you ask him for a hand.”
John C. Maxwell

“And whilst he may not claim superiority by reason of learning, I myself must not withold that meed of homage that learning, wherever it resides, always commands.” 
Mahatma Gandhi

“As the sun and each atom of ether is a shphere complete in itself, yet at the same time only a part of a whole too vast for man to comprehend, so each individual bears within himself his own purpose, yet bears it ot serve a general purpose unfathomable to man.”
Leo Tolstoy

“No person or situation can make you fed anything-it is only the way you think about a situation that makes you feel the way you do.”
Brian Tracy

“Grace equals ability. God gives us grace to match our call. When we do our own thing, we do it on our own. When we follow His leading, He always supplies the grace and the energy to do what He's calling us to do.” 
Joyce Meyer

“Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.”
Albert Einstein

“Fear teaches you to be cautious, careful, and conscientious. It also forces you to be creative, compassionate, and calculating.”
T.D. Jakes

“Faith is the oil that takes the friction out of living. Faith will enable you to turn liabilities into assets and stumbling blocks into stepping stones. When you begin to have faith, your load will get heavy but your knees won’t buckle, you’ll get knocked down but you won’t get knocked out. You’ve got to have faith if you are going to make it in life. You must believe in yourself and in a power greater than yourself, and do your best and don’t worry about the rest. You must maintain faith and work as if everything depended on you, and pray as if everything depended on God.”
T.D. Jakes

“Josh Billings once wrote, “It ain’t what a man knows what hurts him. It’s what he knows what ain’t true.”
Brian Tracy
