General Quotes

“I have not eaten enough of the tree of knowledge, though in my profession I am obligated to feed on it regularly.”
Albert Einstein

“If you want to wait till your black hairs turn grey and your teeth start pulling out before you become a leader, you are either too fast to prove your ignorance, or you are too late to know who you are made of.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“One day, George Mbekela paid a visit to my mother. “Your son is a clever young fellow,” he said. “He should go to school.” My mother remained silent. No one in my family had ever attended school and my mother was unprepared for Mbekela’s suggestion. But she did relay it to my father, who despite—or perhaps because of—his own lack of education immediately decided that his youngest son should go to school.
Nelson Mandela

“Must manage your thought life daily and then you can manage your life.”
John C. Maxwell

“Instead of trying to be great, be part of something greater than yourself.”
John C. Maxwell

“No matter what our circumstances, our greatest limitation isn’t the leader above us—it’s the spirit within us.”
John C. Maxwell

“Moreover, I believe that part of America's genius has always been its ability to absorb newcomers, to forge a national identity out of the disparate lot that arrived on our shores. In this we've been aided by a Constitution that--despite being marred by the original sin of slavery--has at its very core the ideas of equal citizenship under the laws; and an economic system that, more than any other, has offered opportunity to all comers, regardless of status or title or rank.”
Barack Obama

“Sin then is not a toy with which to play but a terror to be shunned.”
Billy Graham

“I have seen, the desperation and disorder of the powerless: how it twists the lives of children on the streets of Jakarta or Nairobi in much the same way as it does the lives of children on Chicago’s South Side, how narrow the path is for them between humiliation and untrammeled fury, how easily they slip into violence and despair. I know that the response of the powerful to this disorder -- alternating as it does between a dull complacency and, when the disorder spills out of its proscribed confines, a steady, unthinking application of force, of longer prison sentences and more sophisticated military hardware -- is inadequate to the task. I know that the hardening of lines, the embrace of fundamentalism and tribe, dooms us all.”
Barack Obama

“People fail to get along because they fear each other; they fear each other because they don't know each other; they don't know each other because they have not communicated with each other.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“He stepped down, trying not to look long at her, as if she were the sun, yet he saw her, like the sun, even without looking.”
Leo Tolstoy

“What woman would not appreciate a God who becomes her attorney, assumes her case, requires no fee, and wins her the victory?”
T.D. Jakes

“Like sterling silver, love will tarnish unless it is polished with daily applications of interest, involvement, and expressions of love.”
Zig Ziglar

“We must become holy not because we want to feel holy, but because Christ must be able to live His life fully in us.”
Mother Teresa

“If I would be made come to earth again, I would ask for the same mother again. If made to return 100 times to earth, I would request to be born through the same mother 100 times!”
Israelmore Ayivor
