John C. Maxwell

“My politics is my religion, my religion is my politics.” 
Mahatma Gandhi

“The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.”
Mother Teresa

“In no instance have . . . the churches been guardians of the liberties of the people. James Madison, U.S. President”
George Washington

“As our circle of knowledge expands, so does the circumference of darkness surrounding it.”
Albert Einstein

“We get out of life what we put into it. The way we treat others is the way we ourselves get treated.”
Ben Carson

“We will be judged according to the secret motives and the character of our work. If we have done our work for selfish motives or personal gain, even if the results looked noble to our friends and family, God knows our hearts.”
Billy Graham

“You are where you are in life because of what you believe is possible for yourself.”
Oprah Winfrey

“If an American, because his skin is dark, cannot eat lunch in a restaurant open to the public, if he cannot send his children to the best public school available, if he cannot vote for the public officials who represent him, if, in short, he cannot enjoy the full and free life which all of us want, then who among us would be content to have the color of his skin changed and stand in his place? Who among us would then be content with the counsels of patience and delay?”
John F. Kennedy

“There is in each of us an ancient force that takes and an ancient force that gives. A man finds little difficulty facing that place within himself where the taking force dwells, but it’s almost impossible for him to see into the giving force without changing into something other than man. For a woman, the situation is reversed…These things are so ancient within us…that they’re ground into each separate cell of our bodies…It’s as easy to be overwhelmed by giving as by taking.”
Frank Herbert

“Progress does not compel us to settle centuries-old debates about the role of government for all time — but it does require us to act in our time,”
Barack Obama

“How do you tap in to what God has already done? Very simple: just act like you’re blessed, talk like you’re blessed, walk like you’re blessed, think like you’re blessed, smile like you’re blessed, dress like you’re blessed. Put actions behind your faith, and one day you will see it become a reality.”
Joel Osteen

“Words like aparigraha (non-possession) and samabhava (equability) gripped me. How to cultivate and preserve that equability was the question. How was one to treat alike insulting, insolent and corrupt officials, co-workers of yesterday raising meaningless opposition, and men who had always been good to one? How was one to divest oneself of all possessions? Was not the body itself possession enough? Were not wife and children possessions? Was I to destroy all the cupboards of books I had? Was I to give up all I had and follow Him? Straight came the answer: I could not follow Him unless I gave up all I had.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“Being nice doesn’t make you stupid. It makes you feel good because you know you are gracious enough to forgive and smart enough to realize how distasteful some people can be.”
C.S. Lewis

“Every man is said to have his peculiar ambition. Whether it be true or not, I can say, for one, that I have no other so great as that of being truly esteemed of my fellow-men by rendering myself worthy of their esteem.”
Abraham Lincoln
