General Quotes

“Temptation: Recognize it for what it is, and then reject it—immediately and without compromise.”
Billy Graham

“The will of God prevails. In great contests each party claims to act in accordance with the will of God. Both *may* be, and one *must* be, wrong. God cannot be *for* and *against* the same thing at the same time. In the present civil war it is quite possible that God's purpose is something different from the purpose of either party - and yet the human instrumentalities, working just as they do, are of the best adaption to effect His purpose. I am almost ready to say that this is probably true - that God wills this contest, and wills that it shall not end yet. By His mere great power, on the minds of the now contestants, He could have either *saved* or *destroyed* the Union without human contest. Yet the contest began, And, having begun He could give the final victory to either side any day. Yet the contest proceeds.”
Abraham Lincoln

“This idea of starting at the bottom and working one’s way up may appear to be sound, but the major objection to it is this— too many of those who begin at the bottom never manage to lift their heads high enough to be seen by opportunity, so they remain at the bottom. It should be remembered, also, that the outlook from the bottom is not so very bright or encouraging. It has a tendency to kill off ambition. We call it “getting into a rut,” which means that we accept our fate because we form the habit of daily routine, a habit that finally becomes so strong we cease to try to throw it off. And that is another reason why it pays to start one or two steps above the bottom. By so doing one forms the habit of looking around, of observing how others get ahead, of seeing opportunity, and of embracing it without hesitation.” 
Napoleon Hill

“As a rule I had a distaste for any reading beyond my school books.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“When you get yourself under complete control, you can be your own boss.”
Napoleon Hill

“Sometimes we need to let go of things in our lives to make room for better things. Stress less and live more. Don't waste your energy, when you have the choice to be happy.”
Brian Tracy

“Setting an example is not the main means of influencing others, it is the only means.”
Albert Einstein

“We can become so secure in Christ that as long as we know our heart is right, we know whatever people think of us is between them and God and not our concern
Joyce Meyer

“I thought I could start over, you see. But now I know you can never start over. Not really. You think you have control, but you are like a fly in somebody else’s web. Sometimes I think that’s why I like accounting. All day, you are only dealing with numbers. You add them, multiply them, and if you are careful, you will always have a solution. There’s a sequence there. An order. With numbers, you can have control….”
Barack Obama

“The beauty of trust is that it erases worry and frees you to get on with other matters. Trust means confidence.”
John C. Maxwell

“Sex, alone, is a mighty urge to action, but its forces are like a cyclone—they are often uncontrollable. When the emotion of love begins to mix itself with the emotion of sex, the result is calmness of purpose, poise, accuracy of judgment, and balance
Napoleon Hill

“As new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times.”
Thomas Jefferson

“Forgiveness is.... giving up the hope that you can change the past.”
Oprah Winfrey

“If I were not a Jew I would be a Quaker.”
Albert Einstein

“Christ can take the most sin-laden, selfish, evil person and bring forgiveness and new life.”
Billy Graham
