General Quotes

“I believe all of us can identify with the poet Carl Sandberg, who said, “There is an eagle in me that wants to soar and a hippopotamus in me that wants to wallow in the mud.” The key to success is following the impulse to soar more than the desire to wallow. And that is a never-ending struggle—at least it has been for me. I believe any successful person would be honest in saying, “I got to the top the hard way—fighting my own laziness and ignorance every step of the way.”
John C. Maxwell

“You can never be really sure of how much you believe anything until its truth or falsehood becomes a matter of life or death to you.”
C.S. Lewis

“In my first leadership position, I mistakenly thought that being named the leader meant that I was the leader. Back then I defined leading as a noun—as the position I was appointed to—not a verb—as what I was doing. Though I had been hired as the senior pastor, I quickly discovered the real leader of the church was a down-to-earth farmer named Claude, who had been earning his leadership influence through many positive actions over many years. He later explained it to me, saying, “John, all the letters”
John C. Maxwell

“wormfaced, crawling, sand-brained piece of lizard turd!”
Frank Herbert

“If I continue trying to do what only God can do, I will make myself miserable.”
Joyce Meyer

“J'étais tombé sur l'un des secrets les mieux gardés sur les Noirs: la plupart d'entre nous n'étaient pas intéressés par la révolte; la plupart d'entre nous étaient fatigués de penser tout le temps au problème racial; si nous préférions rester entre nous, c'était surtout parce que c'était le meilleur moyen d'arrêter d'y penser, que c'était plus facile que de passer notre temps en colère ou à essayer de deviner ce que les Blancs pensaient de nous.”
Barack Obama

“Women need a reason for having sex, men just need a place”
Billy Graham

“Author Neale Donald Walsch says, “So long as you’re still worried about what others think of you, you are owned by them. Only when you require no approval from outside yourself can you own yourself.”
Oprah Winfrey

“Often after years of deep investment into others we are shocked and disappointed that they simply didn’t get who we really are.”
T.D. Jakes

“Some day, following the example of the United States of America, there will be a United States of Europe.”
George Washington

“I fear you do not fully comprehend the danger of abridging the liberties of the people. Nothing but the very sternest necessity can ever justify it. A government had better go to the very extreme of toleration, than to do aught that could be construed into an interference with, or to jeopardize in any degree, the common rights of its citizens.”
Abraham Lincoln

“He looked at her as a man looks at a faded flower he has gathered , with difficulty recognizing the beauty for which he picked and ruined it.”
Leo Tolstoy

“We do know that no person can be saved except through Christ. We do not know that only those who know Him can be saved by Him.”
C.S. Lewis

“We don’t get to pick our talents or IQ. But we do choose our character. In fact, we create it every time we make choices—to cop out or dig out of a hard situation, to bend the truth or stand under the weight of it, to take the easy money or pay the price.”
John C. Maxwell

“Don't worry about becoming successful but work toward being significant and the success will naturally follow.”
Oprah Winfrey
