“The world will be a better place when everyone becomes a leader; when everyone finds what he/she was sent to do and does it like no other man’s business.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“I am a product [...of] endless books. My father bought all the books he read and never got rid of any of them. There were books in the study, books in the drawing room, books in the cloakroom, books (two deep) in the great bookcase on the landing, books in a bedroom, books piled as high as my shoulder in the cistern attic, books of all kinds reflecting every transient stage of my parents' interest, books readable and unreadable, books suitable for a child and books most emphatically not. Nothing was forbidden me. In the seemingly endless rainy afternoons I took volume after volume from the shelves. I had always the same certainty of finding a book that was new to me as a man who walks into a field has of finding a new blade of grass.”
C.S. Lewis

“A single day in my own shoe that is comfortable for me is better than 365 days in someone else's shoes that does not fit me at all.”

Martin Luther King Jr

“It be urged that the wild and uncultivated tree, hitherto yielding sour and bitter fruit only, can never be made to yield better; yet we know that the grafting art implants a new tree on the savage stock, producing what is most estimable in kind and degree. Education, in like manner, engrafts a new man on the native stock, and improves what in his nature was vicious and perverse into qualities of virtue and social worth.”
Thomas Jefferson

“It takes your knowing to decide on your going. If you know where you are going, you will keep going because you have already seen yourself gone”
Israelmore Ayivor

“You look at yourself and you accept yourself for who you are, and once you accept yourself for who you are you become a better person.” 
Oprah Winfrey

“Gold is good in it's place, but living, brave, patriotic men are better than gold.”
Abraham Lincoln

“But do you really mean, Sir," said Peter, "that there could be other worlds-all over the place, just round the corner-like that?" "Nothing is more probable," said the Profesor, taking off his spectacles and beginning to polish them, while he muttered to himself, "I wonder what they do teach them at these schools.”
C.S. Lewis

“The Lord did not design the church to cater to people’s needs—the Lord breathed life into the church to proclaim His truths.”
Billy Graham

“God urges us to bring our concerns to Him—not just petitions about our own needs, but also intercessions for others. [The apostle] Paul said . . . “Brothers, pray for us” [1 Thessalonians 5:25 NIV].”
Billy Graham

“Life’s persistent and most urgent question is ‘What are you doing for others?’ ”
Martin Luther King Jr

“Never be afraid to try. The only angle through which you can approach success is by the “try-angle”. You may fail if you try, but shame unto you if you don’t try at all. If you fail…rise up and try again and again!”
Israelmore Ayivor
