General Quotes

“Leadership is more disposition than position—influence others from wherever you are.”
John C. Maxwell

“You may well ask: “Why direct action? Why sit-ins, marches and so forth? Isn’t negotiation a better path?” You are quite right in calling for negotiation. Indeed, this is the very purpose of direct action. Nonviolent direct action seeks to create such a crisis and foster such a tension that a community which has constantly refused to negotiate is forced to confront the issue.
Martin Luther King Jr

“Don't use words too big for the subject. Don't say infinitely when you mean very; otherwise you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite.”
C.S. Lewis

“We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty.”
Mother Teresa

“The harder you tried not to think, the more you thought.”
C.S. Lewis

“Be careful of who becomes your friend and why. The person who will bite off your lips one day will have to first promise you a kiss today. Be careful of hypocrites.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“One might say that our words are a movie screen that reveals what we have been thinking and the attitudes that we have.”
Joyce Meyer

“Consider this: you are today what you believed about yourself yesterday. And you will be tomorrow what you believe about yourself right now.”
Joel Osteen

“Most men lead lives of aimless distraction.”
Rick Warren

“If you can't influence people, then they will not follow you. And if people won't follow, you are not a leader. That's the Law of Influence.”
John C. Maxwell

“But we do not have to think that human nature is perfect for us to still believe that the human condition can be perfected. We do not have to live in an idealized world to still reach for those ideals that will make it a better place. The non-violence practiced by men like Gandhi and King may not have been practical or possible in every circumstance, but the love that they preached - their faith in human progress - must always be the North Star that guides us on our journey. For if we lose that faith - if we dismiss it as silly or naïve; if we divorce it from the decisions that we make on issues of war and peace - then we lose what is best about humanity. We lose our sense of possibility. We lose our moral compass.”
Barack Obama

“Can we overcome our anger, instead of constantly being overcome by it? Yes—with God’s help. Peter’s anger was channeled into boldness for Christ. Paul’s anger against Christians was replaced with a burning passion to spread the Gospel. Is this your goal?”
Billy Graham

“If physical fasting is not accompanied by mental fasting it is bound to end in hypocrisy and disaster.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“When you don’t want to change, you look for differences in others. When you are willing to change, you look for similarities.”
John C. Maxwell

“People like people who like them.”
John C. Maxwell
