General Quotes

“Winning teams have players who put the good of the team ahead of themselves. They want to play in their area of strength, but they’re willing to do what it takes to take care of the team. They are willing to sacrifice their role for the greater goal.”
John C. Maxwell

“Historians are like deaf people who go on answering questions that no one has asked them.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Children have one kind of silliness, as you know, and grown-ups have another kind.”
C.S. Lewis

“In your hands, my dissatisfied fellow countrymen, and not in mine, is the momentous issue of civil war. The government will not assail you. You can have no conflict without being yourselves the aggressors. You have no oath registered in Heaven to destroy the government, while I shall have the most solemn one to "preserve, protect, and defend it." I am loath to close. We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battle-field, and patriot grave, to every living heart and hearth-stone, all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.”
Abraham Lincoln

“Life is a test and a trust, and the more God gives you, the more responsible he expects you to be.”

Joel Osteen

“it’s hard to be spiritually strong and mentally alert when you are emotionally stressed or physically fatigued.”
Rick Warren

“Any system that penalizes success and accomplishment is wrong. Any system that discourages work, discourages productivity, discourages economic progress, is wrong. If, on the other hand, you reduce tax rates and allow people to spend or save more of what they earn, they’ll be more industrious; they’ll have more incentive to work hard, and money they earn will add fuel to the great economic machine that energizes our national progress. The result: more prosperity for all—and more revenue for government. A few economists call this principle supply-side economics. I just call it common sense.”
Ronald Reagan

“The measure of a leader is not the number of people who serve him but the number of people he serves.”
John C. Maxwell

“Every man and every living creature has a sacred right to the gladness of springtime.”
Leo Tolstoy

“You know, the truth is that right after 9/11, I had a (flag) pin. Shortly after 9/11, particularly because as we’re talking about the Iraq war, that became a substitute for, I think, true patriotism, which is speaking out on issues that are of importance to our national security, I decided I won’t wear THAT pin on my chest…”
Barack Obama
