“You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.”
Abraham Lincoln

“I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot; together we can do great things.” 
Mother Teresa

“How you think about your opportunities determines how you will act on them.”
T.D. Jakes

“I prefer you to make mistakes in kindness than work miracles in unkindness.”
Mother Teresa

“Never keep long and be waiting. Waiters and quitters have just a slight difference but a common end.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“We are healed to help others. We are blessed to be a blessing. We are saved to serve, not to sit around and wait for heaven.”
Rick Warren

“The very power of [textbook writers] depends on the fact that they are dealing with a boy: a boy who thinks he is ‘doing’ his ‘English prep’ and has no notion that ethics, theology, and politics are all at stake. It is not a theory they put into his mind, but an assumption, which ten years hence, its origin forgotten and its presence unconscious, will condition him to take one side in a controversy which he has never recognized as a controversy at all.”
C.S. Lewis

“I realise the dominating thoughts of my mind will eventually reproduce themselves in outward, physical action and gradually transform themselves into physical reality. Therefore I will concentrate my thoughts for 30 minutes daily upon the task of thinking of the person I intend to become, thereby creating in my mind a clear mental picture of that person.”
Napoleon Hill

“You must picture me alone in that room in Magdalen, night after night, feeling, whenever my mind lifted even for a second from my work, the steady, unrelenting approach of Him whom I so earnestly desired not to meet. That which I greatly feared had at last come upon me. In the Trinity Term of 1929 I gave in, and admitted that God was God, and knelt and prayed: perhaps, that night, the most dejected and reluctant convert in all England. I did not then see what is now the most shining and obvious thing; the Divine humility which will accept a convert even on such terms. The Prodigal Son at least walked home on his own feet. But who can duly adore that Love which will open the high gates to a prodigal who is brought in kicking, struggling, resentful, and darting his eyes in every direction for a chance of escape? The words “compelle intrare,” compel them to come in, have been so abused be wicked men that we shudder at them; but, properly understood, they plumb the depth of the Divine mercy. The hardness of God is kinder than the softness of men, and His compulsion is our liberation.”
C.S. Lewis

“It’s a sure thing that you will not finish if you don’t start. The most difficult part of any job is getting started.”
Napoleon Hill

“Democracy meant all men were to be heard, and a decision was taken together as a people. Majority rule was a foreign notion. A minority was not to be crushed by a majority.”
Nelson Mandela

“How wicked it would be, if we could, to call the dead back! She said not to me but to the chaplain, 'I am at peace with God.' She smiled, but not at me. Poi si torno all' eterna fontana.”
C.S. Lewis

“Here at last is the thing I was made for.”
C.S. Lewis

“We forgive but not forgotten”
Nelson Mandela

“Leaders act with visions; they don't react with emotions. Maturity is when you don't allow your bad feelings to direct your good dealings.”
Israelmore Ayivor
