General Quotes

“Every successful person is someone who failed, yet never regarded himself as a failure.”
John C. Maxwell

“The main “food” God has given to strengthen us is the Bible, the Word of God.”
Billy Graham

“To the corruptions of christianity I am indeed opposed; but not to the genuine precepts of Jesus himself. I am a Christian in the only sense in which he wished any one to be; sincerely attached to his doctrines, in preference to all others; ascribing to himself every human excellence, and believing he never claimed any other.”
Thomas Jefferson

“Ik raakte ervan overtuigd dat niet meewerken aan een slechte zaak net zo goed een morele verplichting inhoudt als meewerken aan iets goeds.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“Both salvation and punishment for man lie in the fact that if he lives wrongly he can befog himself so as not to see the misery of his position.”
Leo Tolstoy

“In questions of power, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the constitution.”
Thomas Jefferson

“Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree”
Martin Luther King Jr

“We . . . do not cease to pray for you. COLOSSIANS 1:9”
Billy Graham

“There can be no keener revelation of a society's soul than the way in which it treats its children.”
Nelson Mandela

“We can and should be satisfied where we are, while we are getting to where we are going.”
Joyce Meyer

“The fantastical idea of virtue and the public good being a sufficient security to the state against the commission of crimes...was never mine. It is only the sanguinary hue of our penal laws which I meant to object to. Punishments I know are necessary, and I would provide them strict and inflexible, but proportioned to the crime. Death might be inflicted for murder and perhaps for treason, [but I] would take out of the description of treason all crimes which are not such in their nature. Rape, buggery, etc., punish by castration. All other crimes by working on high roads, rivers, gallies, etc., a certain time proportioned to the offence... Laws thus proportionate and mild should never be dispensed with. Let mercy be the character of the lawgiver, but let the judge be a mere machine. The mercies of the law will be dispensed equally and impartially to every description of men; those of the judge or of the executive power will be the eccentric impulses of whimsical, capricious designing man.”
Thomas Jefferson

“Honest differences are often a healthy sign of progress.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“Once God leads you to make a decision, don’t draw back. Instead, trust His leading, and believe He goes before you—because He does.”
Billy Graham

“Love is the chain whereby to lock a child to its parent.”
Abraham Lincoln

“Ideas are intangible forces, but they have more power than the physical brains that give birth to them. They have the power to live on, after the brain that creates them has returned to dust.”
Napoleon Hill
