General Quotes

“A winner is a dreamer who never gives up”
Nelson Mandela

“We have become a nation of biblical illiterates.”
Billy Graham

“When you stop planning and preparing . . . you stop winning.”
Zig Ziglar

“But the greatest cause of verbicide is the fact that most people are obviously far more anxious to express their approval and disapproval of things than to describe them. Hence the tendency of words to become less descriptive and more evaluative; then become evaluative, while still retaining some hint of the sort of goodness or badness implied; and to end up by being purely evaluative -- useless synonyms for good or for bad.”
C.S. Lewis

“But life at its best is a creative synthesis of opposites in fruitful harmony.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest most uninteresting person you can talk to may one day be a creature which,if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are, in some degree helping each other to one or the other of these destinations. It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities, it is with the awe and the circumspection proper to them, that we should conduct all of our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics. There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations - these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub, and exploit - immortal horrors or everlasting splendors.”
C.S. Lewis

“What you are speaks so loudly that I can’t hear what you say.” —RALPH WALDO EMERSON”
John C. Maxwell

“If you’re single and you want to get married, put an empty photo album on your table. That’s where you’re going to put your wedding photos. When you see it, you’re moving toward it.”
Joel Osteen

“I’d rather be killed fighting for Narnia than grow old and stupid at home and perhaps go about in a bath-chair and then die in the end just the same.”
C.S. Lewis

“A leader who sows confidence will reap excellency and legacy. A leader who sows fear will reap stagnancy or complacency.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“Mood’s a thing for cattle or for making love. You fight when the necessity arises, no matter your mood.”
Frank Herbert

“The enemy of development is this pain phobia - the unwillingness to do a tiny bit of suffering.”
Bruce Lee

“To educate the peasantry, three things are needed: schools, schools and schools.”
Leo Tolstoy

“the underlying struggle - between worlds of plenty and worlds of want; between the modern and the ancient; between those who embrace our teeming, colliding, irksome diversity, while still insisting on a set of values that binds us together, and those who would seek, under whatever flag or slogan or sacred text, a certainty and simplification that justifies cruelty toward those not like us...” 
Barack Obama

“Let there be consistency in whatever you do and whatever you say. If what you think and say is mismatching with what you do, you can’t really be trusted.”
Israelmore Ayivor
