General Quotes

“Whiskey claims to itself alone the exclusive office of sot-making.”
Thomas Jefferson

“The purpose of influence is to "speak up for those who have no influence." (Pr.31:8) It's not about you.”
Rick Warren

Martin Luther King Jr

“«The happiest people don't have the best of everything, they make the best of everything.»”

“Maud’Dib could indeed, see the Future, but you must understand the limits of this power. Think of sight. You have eyes, yet cannot see without light. If you are on the floor of a valley, you cannot see beyond the valley. Just so, Maud’Dib could not always choose to look across the mysterious terrain. He tells us that a single obscure decision of prophecy, perhaps the choice of one word over another, could change the entire aspect of the future. He tells us “The vision of time is broad, but when you pass through it, time becomes a narrow door.” And always, he fought the temptation to choose a clear, safe course, warning “That path leads ever down into stagnation.”
Frank Herbert

“Remember that we cannot judge the moral value of any action by how we feel. Our feelings are unreliable and cannot be trusted to convey truth.” 
Joyce Meyer

“When we do more than we are paid to do, eventually we will be paid more for what we do
John C. Maxwell

“I'm inspired by the people I meet in my travels--hearing their stories, seeing the hardships they overcome, their fundamental optimism and decency.

And they make me want to be a better man.”
Barack Obama

“One of the greatest gifts you can give is your undivided attention.”
Oprah Winfrey

“there’s a private pain you must endure as people you loved, trusted, or admired turn against you in envy. It hurts to be criticized when you’re trying your best. It stings deeply when you discover the insincerity of those you thought loved you; they only loved what you could do for them. It’s a harsh reality to face that someone simply wants you to fail. You don’t know why; they don’t know why. They just can’t stand the thought of you getting what you want out of life.”
T.D. Jakes

“I have always found it ironic that the people in this world who have the most to be thankful for are often the least thankful, and somehow the people who have virtually nothing, many times live lives full of gratitude.”
Jim Stovall
