C.S. Lewis

“What imagined deficiency or handicap in your life is holding you back?”
Joyce Meyer

“If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things.”
Albert Einstein

“Whatever he says, let his inner resolution be not to bear whatever comes to him, but to bear it 'for a reasonable period'--and let the reasonable period be shorter than the trial is likely to last. It need not be much shorter; in attacks on patience, chastity, and fortitude, the fun is to make the man yield just when (had he but known it) relief was almost in sight.”
C.S. Lewis

“learned rapidly because his first training was in how to leam. And the first lesson of all was the basic trust that he could learn. It is shocking to find how many people do not believe they can learn, and how many more believe learning to be difficult.”
Frank Herbert

“Sooner or later, we are going to face death; should we be making preparations while we are living?”
Billy Graham

“Great minds have purposes; others have wishes. Little minds are subdued by misfortunes; but great minds rise above them.”
John C. Maxwell

“I cannot pinpoint a moment when I became politicized, when I knew that I would spend my life in the liberation struggle. To be an African in South Africa means that one is politicized from the moment of one's birth, whether one acknowledges it or not...His life is circumscribed by racist laws and regulations that cripple his growth, dim his potential, and stunt his life...I had no epiphany, no singular revelation, no moment of truth, but a steady accumulation of a thousand slights, a thousand indignities, a thousand unremembered moments, produced in me an anger, a rebelliousness, a desire to fight the system that imprisoned my people. There was no particular day on which I said, From henceforth I will devote myself to the liberation of my people; instead, I simply found myself doing so, and could not do otherwise.”
Nelson Mandela

“Love is the only way to rescue humanity from all ills, and in it you too have the only method of saving your people from enslavement.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“President Abraham Lincoln said, “I don’t think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday.”
John C. Maxwell

Albert Einstein

“What’s the key to relating to others? It’s putting yourself in someone else’s place instead of putting them in their place.”
John C. Maxwell

“We are set in our ways, bound by our perspectives and stuck in our thinking.”
Joel Osteen

“If we could believe that he [Jesus] really countenanced the follies, the falsehoods, and the charlatanism which his biographers [Gospels] father on him, and admit the misconstructions, interpolations, and theorizations of the fathers of the early, and the fanatics of the latter ages, the conclusion would be irresistible by every sound mind that he was an impostor... We find in the writings of his biographers matter of two distinct descriptions. First, a groundwork of vulgar ignorance, of things impossible, of superstitions, fanaticisms and fabrications... That sect [Jews] had presented for the object of their worship, a being of terrific character, cruel, vindictive, capricious and unjust... Jesus had to walk on the perilous confines of reason and religion: and a step to right or left might place him within the gripe of the priests of the superstition, a blood thirsty race, as cruel and remorseless as the being whom they represented as the family God of Abraham, of Isaac and of Jacob, and the local God of Israel. They were constantly laying snares, too, to entangle him in the web of the law... That Jesus did not mean to impose himself on mankind as the son of God, physically speaking, I have been convinced by the writings of men more learned than myself in that lore.
Thomas Jefferson
