General Quotes

“The main point is that it’s the speaker’s responsibility to bring energy to the audience and to work to activate them.”
John C. Maxwell

“People are training for success when they should be training for failure. Failure is far more common than success; poverty is more prevalent than wealth; and disappointment more normal than arrival. —J.WALLACE HAMILTON”
John C. Maxwell

“In actuality, it was like the homes of all people who are not really rich but who want to look rich, and therefore end up looking like one another: it had damasks, ebony, plants, carpets, and bronzes, everything dark and gleaming—all the effects a certain class of people produce so as to look like people of a certain class. And his place looked so much like the others that it would never have been noticed, though it all seemed quite exceptional to him.”
Leo Tolstoy

“I call him religious who understands the suffering of others.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“I urge new converts to take plenty of time in Bible study and prayer before getting on a public platform to testify.”
Billy Graham

“The various religions are like different roads converging on the same point. What difference does it make if we follow different routes, provided we arrive at the same destination?”
Mahatma Gandhi

“No justification of virtue will enable a man to be virtuous. Without the aid of trained emotions the intellect is powerless against the animal organism. I had sooner play cards against a man who was quite skeptical about ethics, but bred to believe that ‘a gentleman does not cheat’, than against an irreproachable moral philosopher who had been brought up among sharpers.”
C.S. Lewis

“Isaiah 9:6–7 says, “For to us a Child is born, to us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder, and His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father [of Eternity], Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and of peace there shall be no end” (italics mine). The government that is upon the shoulders of Jesus is not a political government; the verse is referring to the governing of our lives. We are not supposed to be running our own lives. In fact, we are not capable or qualified to run our own lives. Not one of us is intelligent enough to know what is best. That is why we should be thankful for God’s interference.” 
Joyce Meyer

“Don't quench the courageous spirit you begun with; you'll still need it when the going gets tough and all things seem impossible on your journey!”
Israelmore Ayivor

“The chief cause of failure and unhappiness is trading what you want most for what you want right now”
Zig Ziglar

“No matter when, at whatever moment, if she were asked what she was thinking about she could reply quite correctly - one thing, her happiness and her unhappiness.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Imperfect, but Perfectly Loved”
Joyce Meyer

“If we are at peace with this world, it may be because we have sold out to it and compromised with it.”
Billy Graham

“I have no duty to be anyone's Friend and no man in the world has a duty to be mine. No claims, no shadow of necessity. Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art, like the universe itself (for God did not need to create). It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival.”
C.S. Lewis

“Eating and reading are two pleasures that combine admirably.”
C.S. Lewis
