“Humility is not denying your strengths. Humility is being honest about your weaknesses. All of us are a bundle of both great strengths and great weaknesses and humility is being able to be honest about both.”
John C. Maxwell

“The most necessary task of civilization is to teach people how to think. It should be the primary purpose of our public schools. The mind of a child is naturally active, it develops through exercise. Give a child plenty of exercise, for body and brain. The trouble with our way of educating is that it does not give elasticity to the mind. It casts the brain into a mold. It insists that the child must accept. It does not encourage original thought or reasoning, and it lays more stress on memory than observation.”
Thomas A. Edison

“We need to decide how we want to be treated. Then we need to begin treating others in that manner.”
John C. Maxwell

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”
C.S. Lewis

“You've got to be before you can do, and do before you can have.”
Zig Ziglar

“Warren Bennis and Bert Nanus say that “trust is the emotional glue that binds followers and leaders together.”
John C. Maxwell

“If you don’t change the direction you are going, then you’re likely to end up where you’re heading…”
John C. Maxwell

“If you want to build lifelong, loyal friendships, if you want to build trust, learn to protect your family members and friends even when they make mistakes.”

“Only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is. ... We never find out the strength of the evil impulse inside us until we try to fight it: and Christ, because He was the only man who never yielded to temptation, is also the only man who knows to the full what temptation means—the only complete realist.”
C.S. Lewis

“Respect for the truth comes close to being the basis for all morality. Something cannot emerge from nothing.”
Frank Herbert

“In an ideal world, both parties would desire to uphold the Constitution,”
Ben Carson

“Then a genius has been born!”
Napoleon Hill

“The sight of the huge world put mad ideas into me, as if I could wander away, wander forever, see strange and beautiful things, one after the other to the world's end.”
C.S. Lewis

“When the going is hardest, just keep on keeping on, and you’ll get there sooner than someone who finds the going easy.”
Napoleon Hill

Mother Teresa
