Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?
Abraham Lincoln

God must love the common man, he made so many of them.
Abraham Lincoln

The people will save their government, if the government itself will allow them.
Abraham Lincoln

Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable - a most sacred right - a right, which we hope and believe, is to liberate the world.
Abraham Lincoln

I destroy my enemies when I make them my friends.
Abraham Lincoln

I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts.
Abraham Lincoln

The Lord prefers common-looking people. That is why he makes so many of them.

There are a terrible lot of lies going about the world, and the worst of it is that half of them are true.
Winston Churchill

My rule of life prescribed as an absolutely sacred rite smoking cigars and also the drinking of alcohol before, after and if need be during all meals and in the intervals between them.

Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.
Winston Churchill

Some people feel guilty about their anxieties and regard them as a defect of faith but they are afflictions, not sins. Like all afflictions, they are, if we can so take them, our share in the passion of Christ.
C. S. Lewis

There is, hidden or flaunted, a sword between the sexes till an entire marriage reconciles them.
C. S. Lewis

Winning is not a sometime thing; it's an all time thing. You don't win once in a while, you don't do things right once in a while, you do them right all the time. Winning is habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.
Vince Lombardi

We would accomplish many more things if we did not think of them as impossible.
Vince Lombardi

Discrimination is a hellhound that gnaws at Negroes in every waking moment of their lives to remind them that the lie of their inferiority is accepted as truth in the society dominating them.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them.
Michael Jordan

If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.
Michael Jordan

People respond when you tell them there is a great future in front of you, you can leave your past behind.
Joel Osteen

Most people already know what they're doing wrong. When I get them to church I want to tell them that you can change.
Joel Osteen

I try to speak in everyday language. I feel like God has gifted me to take Bible principles and make them practical.
