General Quotes

“Formerly...when he tried to do anything for the good of everybody, for humanity...for the whole village, he had noticed that the thoughts of it were agreeable, but the activity itself was always unsatisfactory; there was no full assurance that the work was really necessary, and the activity itself, which at first seemed so great, ever lessened and lessened till it vanished. But now...when he began to confine himself more and more to living for himself, though he no longer felt any joy at the thought of his activity, he felt confident that his work was necessary, saw that it progressed far better than formerly, and that it was always growing more and more.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Some people have a warped idea of living the Christian life. Seeing talented, successful Christians, they attempt to imitate them. For them, the grass on the other side of the fence is always greener.

They have forgotten that they are here to serve Christ, not themselves.”
Billy Graham

Billy Graham

C.S. Lewis

“Never confuse activity with productivity.”
Rick Warren

“Everything that God calls us to do, He will help us do.”

Martin Luther King Jr

“Connectors do the difficult work of keeping it simple.”
John C. Maxwell

“Children are the world's most valuable resource and its best hope for the future.”
John F. Kennedy

“don’t be overly concerned about what other people think of you and your decisions. Most of them are not thinking about you as much as you might imagine that they are anyway.”
