General Quotes

“People are often worried. They are told they ought to love God. They cannot find any such feeling in themselves. What are they to do? The answer is the same as before. Act as if you did. Do not sit trying to manufacture feelings. Ask yourself, ‘If I were sure that I loved God, what would I do?’ When you have found the answer, go and do it.”
C.S. Lewis

“It [is] that courage that Africa most desperately needs.”

Leo Tolstoy

Israelmore Ayivor

“The way for a young man to rise is to improve himself every way he can, never suspecting that anybody wishes to hinder him. Allow me to assure you that suspicion and jealousy never did help any man in any situation. There may sometimes be ungenerous attempts to keep a young man down; and they will succeed, too, if he allows his mind to be diverted from its true channel to brood over the attempted injury. Cast about and see if this feeling has not injured every person you have ever known to fall into it.”
Abraham Lincoln

“The more seriously you take your growth, the more seriously your people will take you.”
John C. Maxwell

“The marriage partner is not really the problem. No other person can ultimately make you happy. You must learn how to be happy within yourself.” 
Joel Osteen

“You cannot consistently perform in a manner that is inconsistent with the way you see yourself.”
Zig Ziglar

“I wanted movement and not a calm course of existence. I wanted excitement and danger and the chance to sacrifice myself for my love.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Children now log about twenty-two thousand hours watching television by age nineteen, more than twice the time spent in school
John C. Maxwell
