General Quotes

“Many parents preach to their children but do not set good examples. Parents want the children to do as they say, not as they do.”
Billy Graham

“If you want to get ahead, leading up is much better than kissing up.”
John C. Maxwell

“If the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail.”
John C. Maxwell

“I have examined all the known superstitions of the world,and I do not find in our particular superstition of Christianity one redeeming feature. They are all alike founded on fables and mythology. Millions of innocent men women and children since the introduction of Christianity,have been burnt, tortured, fined and imprisoned. What has been the effect of this coercion? To make one half the world fools and the other half hypocrites; to support roguery and error all over the earth.”
Thomas Jefferson

“Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.”
Zig Ziglar

“Presumption is a big problem. And it comes from a wrong heart, as we are told in 2 Peter 2:10,11 which speaks of…those who walk after the flesh and indulge in the lust of polluting passion and scorn and despise authority. Presumptuous [and] daring [self-willed and self-loving creatures]! They scoff at and revile dignitaries (glorious ones) without trembling, whereas [even] angels, though superior in might and power, do not bring a defaming charge against them before the Lord. God does not want presumption. He wants humility.
Joyce Meyer

“Many have marked the speed with which Muad'Dib learned the necessities of Arrakis. The Bene Gesserit, of course, know the basis of this speed. For the others, we can say that Muad'Dib learned rapidly because his first training was in how to learn. And the first lesson of all was the basic trust that he could learn. It is shocking to find how many people do not believe they can learn, and how many more believe learning to be difficult. Muad'Dib knew that every experience carries its lesson.”
Frank Herbert

“Never use abstract nouns when concrete ones will do. If you mean “More people died” don’t say “Mortality rose.”
C.S. Lewis

“Dear Jesus, more than anything else, I want to get to know you intimately.”
Rick Warren

“Humans live best when each has his own place, when each knows where he belongs in the scheme of things. Destroy the place and destroy the person.”
Frank Herbert

“It is impossible to live in the past, difficult to live in the present and a waste to live in the future.”
Frank Herbert

“We may have all come on different ships, but we're in the same boat now.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“How do we counter the trend of worldliness? We must saturate our minds, hearts, and souls with God’s Word. The Bible says, “Train yourself to be godly” (1 Timothy 4:7).”
Billy Graham

“We are the only ones who can make decisions for ourselves about how we will handle the situations that arise in our lives. Life is not likely to get any easier, but our approach to life can change and that will make it easier.”
Joyce Meyer

“Our country is too large to have all its affairs directed by a single government. Public servants at such a distance, and from under the eye of their constituents, must, from the circumstance of distance, be unable to administer and overlook all the details necessary for the good government of the citizens; and the same circumstance, by rendering detection impossible to their constituents, will invite public agents to corruption, plunder and waste.”
Thomas Jefferson
