“I didn't say this.”
Bill Gates

“As Thomas Jefferson proclaimed, “In matters of fashion, swim with the current. In matters of conscience, stand like a rock.”
Thomas Jefferson

“In my daughters I see her every day, her joy, her capacity for wonder. I won’t try to describe how deeply I mourn her passing still. I know that she was the kindest, most generous spirit I have ever known, and that what is best in me I owe to her.”
Barack Obama

“The church has lost its ability to discipline members who live openly in sin. Consequently, we have lost our witness in the community.”
Billy Graham

“The first misconception is that we confuse fear with humility. We tend to say, “Oh, I could never do that,” and we think we’re being humble. But that is not humility. That is fear; that is a lack of faith. A truly humble person would say, “With God’s help, I can do it. With God’s blessing, I will do it. I may not be able to do it on my own, but with God’s help I will do it.” That’s real humility.” 
Rick Warren

“Some men look at constitutions with sanctimonious reverence, and deem them like the ark of the covenant, too sacred to be touched. They ascribe to the men of the preceding age a wisdom more than human, and suppose what they did to be beyond amendment. I knew that age well; I belonged to it, and labored with it. It deserved well of its country. It was very like the present, but without the experience of the present; and forty years of experience in government is worth a century of book-reading; and this they would say themselves, were they to rise from the dead. I am certainly not an advocate for frequent and untried changes in laws and constitutions. I think moderate imperfections had better be borne with; because, when once known, we accommodate ourselves to them, and find practical means of correcting their ill effects. But I know also, that laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths disclosed, and manners and opinions change with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also, and keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy, as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors.” 
Thomas Jefferson

“I look forward to a future in which our country will match its military strength with our moral restraint, its wealth with our wisdom, its power with our purpose”
John F. Kennedy

“The more I reflect and look back on the past, the more vividly do I feel my limitations.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“The richest persons are those who give most in service to others.”
Napoleon Hill

“New York, like London, seems to be a cloacina [toilet] of all the depravities of human nature.”
Thomas Jefferson

“you were born to win, but in order to be the winner you were born to be, you have to plan to win and prepare to win before you can expect to win.”
Zig Ziglar

“The essence of a successful business is really quite simple. It is your ability to offer a product or service that people will pay for at a price sufficiently above your costs, ideally three or four or five times your cost, thereby giving you a profit that enables you to buy and to offer more products and services.”
Brian Tracy

“Tread softly, Breathe peacefully, Laugh hysterically.”  ― Nelson Mandela”
Nelson Mandela

“The writer of Proverbs observed that sharp people sharpen one another, just as iron sharpens iron. If you want to be a sharp thinker, be around sharp people.”
John C. Maxwell

“Your playing small does not serve the world. Who are you not to be great?” 
Nelson Mandela
