General Quotes

“Every challenge we take on has the power to knock us to our knees. But what’s even more disconcerting than the jolt itself is our fear that we won’t withstand it. When we feel the ground beneath us shifting, we panic. We forget everything we know and allow fear to freeze us. Just the thought of what could happen is enough to throw us off balance. What I know for sure is that the only way to endure the quake is to adjust your stance. You can’t avoid the daily tremors. They come with being alive. But I believe these experiences are gifts that force us to step to the right or left in search of a new center of gravity. Don’t fight them. Let them help you adjust your footing.”
Oprah Winfrey

“Those who love peace must learn to organize as effectively as those who love war.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“Laughing is the quickest way to get up and get going again when you’ve been knocked down. Failing Forward” 
John C. Maxwell

“It is vitally important for local church leaders to keep in touch with the spiritual state of their members, to discuss their level of biblical knowledge, and to teach them how to study God’s Word and pray.”
Billy Graham

“How does God look on us? He looks on us as though we had never done anything wrong.”
Kenneth E. Hagin

“All humanity is one undivided and indivisible family. I cannot detach myself from the wickedest soul.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“Stop chasing another busy self to become. Your real self is idle waiting to be lived... Go, take up your real self!”
Israelmore Ayivor

“Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again.”
C.S. Lewis

“The shovel is bigger than the spoon, but it can never ever do the work the spoon does. They both look similar; they both have different sizes but one more thing not to forget is that "they are important in their own roles"! Each is unique! You are unique too. Take the lead!”
Israelmore Ayivor

“There are no drive-thru breakthroughs. Breakthroughs take time.”
Joyce Meyer

“The Fremen were supreme in that quality the ancients called "spannungsbogen" -- which is the self-imposed delay between desire for a thing and the act of reaching out to grasp that thing.”
Frank Herbert

“What will make you great today will never make you great tomorrow! The airplane that Wilbur and Orville Wright invented in 1906 would be seen as a scrap today. It becomes valueless with time.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“A person who is of fixed mind in a small matter can be so even in a big matter. If he is asked to make an ellipsoid of clay and concentrate on it, he would do so. In trying to concentrate on any object, one is likely to be distracted by all manner of troublesome thoughts. A person to whom this happens may be described as one whose intellect is not fixed on one aim. One who would succeed in the yoga of works must be of a fixed mind in small matters as well as big.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“The real problem is not why some pious, humble, believing people suffer, but why some do not.”
C.S. Lewis

“Then you should just go take one,” Hawat sneered. “Yes,” the Fremen said. “We took one. We have it hidden where Stilgar can study it for Liet and where Liet can see it for himself if he wishes. But I doubt he’ll want to: the weapon is not a very good one. Poor design for Arrakis.” “You…took one?” Hawat asked. “It was a good fight,” the Fremen said. “We lost only two men and spilled the water from more than a hundred of theirs.” There were Sardaukar at every gun, Hawat thought. This desert madman speaks casually of losing only two men against Sardaukar!”
Frank Herbert
