General Quotes

“He whose wisdom surpasses that of all philosophers, has declared that 'a house divided against itself cannot stand”
Abraham Lincoln

“Longing for the ideal while criticizing the real is evidence of immaturity. On the other hand, settling for the real without striving for the ideal is complacency. Maturity is living with the tension.”
Rick Warren

“Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”
C.S. Lewis

“Don’t answer every critic. Sometimes, the answers you give may be right but misconceived and misunderstood.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“You must be shapeless, formless, like water. When you pour water in a cup, it becomes the cup. When you pour water in a bottle, it becomes the bottle. When you pour water in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Water can drip and it can crash. Become like water my friend.”
Bruce Lee

“When there is no desire for fruit, there is no temptation for untruth or himsa (violence). Take any instance of untruth or violence, and it will be found that at its back was the desire to attain the cherished end. But it may be freely admitted that the Gita was not written to establish ahimsa. It was an accepted and primary duty even before the Gita age. The Gita had to deliver the message of renunciation of fruit. This is clearly brought out as early as the second chapter. 26. But if the Gita believed in ahimsa or it was included in desirelessness, why did the author take a warlike illustration? When the Gita was written, although people believed in ahimsa, wars were not only not taboo, but nobody observed the contradiction between them and ahimsa.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“The key to friendship with God, he said, is not changing what you do, but changing your attitude toward what you do.”
Rick Warren

“Be prepared to appreciate what you meet.”
Frank Herbert

“So go ahead. Fall down. The world looks different from the ground.”
Oprah Winfrey

“Your problem is to bridge the gap between where you are now and the goals you intend to reach. EARL NIGHTINGALE”
Brian Tracy

“When was the last time you did something for the first time?”
John C. Maxwell

“You do not have, because you do not ask. James 4:2b” 
Joyce Meyer

“Here I am...wanting to accomplish something and completely forgetting it must all end--that there is such a thing as death.”
Leo Tolstoy

“If someone must be hurt, if it ever becomes necessary to bear pains, weather strong winds, or withstand trials or opposition, let it be adults and not children.”
T.D. Jakes

“[Christians] are called to distinguish themselves as Christ followers, not community organizers.”
Billy Graham
