General Quotes

“In writing. Don't use adjectives which merely tell us how you want us to feel about the thing you are describing. I mean, instead of telling us a thing was "terrible," describe it so that we'll be terrified. Don't say it was "delightful"; make us say "delightful" when we've read the description. You see, all those words (horrifying, wonderful, hideous, exquisite) are only like saying to your readers, "Please will you do my job for me."
C.S. Lewis

“The first question which the priest and the Levite asked was: 'If I stop to help this man, what will happen to me?' But...the good Samaritan reversed the question: 'If I do not stop to help this man, what will happen to him?”
Martin Luther King Jr

“If I could do it all again, I'd be a plumber.”
Albert Einstein

“Riches do not respond to wishes. They respond only to definite plans, backed by definite desires, through constant persistence.”
Napoleon Hill

“Man’s greatest motivating force is his desire to please woman! The hunter who excelled during prehistoric days, before the dawn of civilization, did so, because of his desire to appear great in the eyes of woman. Man’s nature has not changed in this respect. The “hunter” of today brings home no skins of wild animals, but he indicates his desire for her favor by supplying fine clothes, motor cars, and wealth. Man has the same desire to please woman that he had before the dawn of civilization. The only thing that has changed, is his method of pleasing. Men who accumulate large fortunes, and attain to great heights of power and fame, do so, mainly, to satisfy their desire to please women.”
Napoleon Hill

“In politics, the tripod is he most unstable of all structures. It's be bad enough without the complication of a feudal trade culture which turns its back on most science.”
Frank Herbert

“You just have to take the first step , you don't have to see the whole staircase.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“Fear can paralyze us and keep us from believing God and stepping out in faith. The devil loves a fearful Christian!”
Billy Graham

“If conversion to Christianity makes no improvement in a man's outward actions – if he continues to be just a snobbish or spiteful or envious or ambitious as he was before – then I think we must suspect that his 'conversion' was largely imaginary.”
C.S. Lewis

“Is it any wonder that fear and anxiety have become the hallmarks of our age?”
Billy Graham

“Prayer is more than a wish; it is the voice of faith directed to God.”
Billy Graham
