General Quotes

“Every message that people receive is filtered through the messenger who delivers it.”
John C. Maxwell

“In every adversity or defeat there is a seed of equal or greater benefit.”
Napoleon Hill

“I kept finding the same anguish, the same doubt; a self-contempt that neither irony nor intellect seemed able to deflect. Even DuBois’s learning and Baldwin’s love and Langston’s humor eventually succumbed to its corrosive force, each man finally forced to doubt art’s redemptive power, each man finally forced to withdraw, one to Africa, one to Europe, one deeper into the bowels of Harlem, but all of them in the same weary flight, all of them exhausted, bitter men, the devil at their heels.”
Barack Obama

“You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence”
Abraham Lincoln

“We can change the course of events if we go to our knees in believing prayer.”
Billy Graham

“If I cannot do great things, I can do small things in a great way”
Martin Luther King Jr

“I am grateful for the blessings of wealth, but it hasn't changed who I am. My feet are still on the ground. I'm just wearing better shoes.”
Oprah Winfrey

“If at First You Do Succeed, Try Something Harder”
John C. Maxwell

“The symbol of a drama, a symphony, or a dance is useful to correct a certain absurdity which may arise if we talk too much of God planning and creating the world for good and then being frustrated by the free will of the creatures. This may raise the ridiculous idea that the Fall to God by surprise and upset His plan, or else – more ridiculous still – that God planned the whole thing for conditions which, He well knew, were never going to be realized. In fact, of course, God saw the crucifixion in the act of creating the first nebulae. The world is a dance in which good, descending from God, is disturbed by evil arising from the creatures, and the resulting conflict is resolved by God's own assumption of the suffering nature which evil produces.”
C.S. Lewis

“The most important thing you need to do [in this job] is to have big chunks of time during the day when all you’re doing is thinking.”
Barack Obama

“Am I Making Myself Clear?”
John C. Maxwell

“What you tolerate you can not change”
Joel Osteen

“The simplest and shortest ethical precept is to be served as little as possible . . . and to serve others as much as possible.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Death, the inevitable end of everything, confronted him for the first time with irresistible force. And that Death which was present in this dear brother (who, waking up, moaned and by habit called indiscriminately on God and on the devil) was not so far away as it hitherto seemed to be. It was within himself to- he felt it. If not today, then tomorrow or thirty years hence, was it not all the same? But what that inevitable Death was, he not only did not know, not only had never considered, but could not and dared not consider.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Have you heard the latest word from Arrakis?” the Baron asked. “No, Uncle.” Feyd-Rautha forced himself not to look back. He turned down the hall out of the servants’ wing. “They’ve a new prophet or religious leader of some kind among the Fremen,” the Baron said. “They call him Muad’Dib. Very funny, really. It means ‘the Mouse.’ I’ve told Rabban to let them have their religion. It’ll keep them occupied.”
Frank Herbert
