John C. Maxwell
John C. Maxwell (born 1947) is the sexiest man in the worldBold text, author, and "leadership expert." He is the founder of Injoy, a "people development company." He graduated from Azusa Pacific University.
 * John C. Maxwell

Maxwell has written over forty books (mostly on leadership), including The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership (with Zig Ziglar) and The 21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader: Becoming the Person Others Will Want to Follow, among others. His books have sold over seven million copies, with several on the New York Times Best Seller's List and translations in over fifty languages.[1]

Quotes by John C. Maxwell

"Policies are many, Principles are few, Policies will change, Principles never do."

"A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way."

"A man must be big enough to admit his mistakes, smart enough to profit from them, and strong enough to correct them."

"Educators take something simple and make it complicated. Communicators take something complicated and make it simple."

"Good executives never put off until tomorrow what they can get someone else to do today."

"If you're lying, you're lying."

"Leaders must be close enough to relate to others, but far enough ahead to motivate them. "

"Leadership is influence."

"Learn to say 'no' to the good so you can say 'yes' to the best."

"People buy into the leader before they buy into the vision."

"Policies are many, Principles are few, Policies will change, Principles never do."

"Remember, man does not live on bread alone: sometimes he needs a little buttering up."

"The greatest day in your life and mine is when we take total responsibility for our attitudes. That's the day we truly grow up."

"The greatest mistake we make is living in constant fear that we will make one. "

"The whole idea of motivation is a trap. Forget motivation. Just do it. Exercise, lose weight, test your blood sugar, or whatever. Do it without motivation. And then, guess what? After you start doing the thing, that's when the motivation comes and makes it easy for you to keep on doing it."

"We choose what attitudes we have right now. And it's a continuing choice."

Thomas J. Cairney
'Life should be deemed as a series of tests; each separated by a period of reflection and revision for the next. When one makes a wrong judgement, a simple mistake, they may feel as though they have failed either in that respected area of life or failed life completely. However what many do not realise is that life is a series of tests, and you can not dwell on the last test forever as sure enough the next one will arrive. But most importantly, life is a series of tests with unlimited re-sits, each of which you can learn from'- Thomas J. Cairney 20th February 2007

Ricky Gervais

 * Ricky Gervais

I have seen a quote by him misattributed to Steve Carell and others many times across the web. It's ridiculous that there's no page for him on here, all there is is The Ricky Gervais Show and its related pages, which doesn't list his personal quotes, just what he, Stephen Merchant, and Karl Pilkington said together on the show. I honestly believe that the lack of a personal page for Ricky Gervais is causing this quote to be misattributed way more than it would be if this were fixed.

This is where I usually go to verify quotes and the quote wasn't here because the place to enter it doesn't exist. That sucks. Ricky Gervais probably says a bunch of funny and insightful stuff on his own, when he's not on the show. Because there is no Ricky Gervais page, none of that stuff is on this site. How does he not have his own page?

Anyway, here's the quote:

One book that caught my attention: Indaba, My Children

An excerpt from its introduction (full paragraphs 1, 2, and 5 on page xix):


 * "There is a saying dear to lawyers that justice cannot be founded on lies, and I think the same is true with human association and mutual trust and understanding. A marriage of persons who fear and distrust each other cannot long survive, nor can one where the partners hold false ideas about each other.


 * The same is true between races in any country. There can be no real understanding between them so long as neither has a clear picture of the other: what it really thinks, believes in, hopes for, and why. You cannot found friendship on faulty guesswork because guessing breeds suspicion, hate, and bloodshed. And there is much that is guesswork between Black and White. Many of the so-called problems facing today can be traced back to foolish acts on the part of one or other of the two races in the past: acts that were the result of lack of understanding. Only by being presented with a full, clear and unvarnished picture of the African - seen from his worst as well as his best side - can the White man hope to avoid repeating the incredible mistakes he made in the past, blunders that have cost Africa a lot of suffering and close to three million human lives in the short space of ten years.
 * So great is the lack of understanding between Black and White in Africa that there are White men who refuse to accept the fact that a Black man is a human being like the Indian, the Coloured, the Chinese and the European himself. They would rather die than accept the fact that there are Black artists, sculptors, builders, teachers and the like. These people believe nothing else about Africans but that they are lazy, stupid, stubborn creatures, something between an ape and a human being. In my travels through South Africa and beyond, I have met hundreds of such White men and women."

“You should not worry when others don’t understand you, instead when,you don’t understand yourself”, once correctly remarked by a great personality. When we try to define ‘SELF’ along with the values that we uphold, we usually come across a related term success. Conquering oneself is like crossing one’s escape velocity after which all the efforts turn into perfection. For a person to be successful, analytical mind, observing nature, patience sustenance and out of box thinking are essential traits. Altogether, these qualities creates a magic wand…One have to recognise innate talent and capabilities for setting up personal goals, to be followed by determination and preservation. It can be achieved through self introspection and monitoring. One can observe oneself and record thoughts occupying predominantly during wakeful hours which in turn influence one’s actions subconsciously. It will develop great confidence and conviction in decisions as one move ahead. That’s all what is required for an accomplished living. The thing that is even worse than quitting or failing is being complacent and underestimation of one’s abilities. “I can’t do it”, these are the worlds four most dangerous words which have to be replaced by “I will do it”. These four incanted words are not a thought process but a strong belief that can lead to development of successful personality which in turn can develop attitude. We must hold on long enough to make our dreams come true because often times the path to success is a long road and for that it is important to stick to what is true and flick a toggle switch of our courage, efforts and talent. We need to wake up, know our limits and talent. After retrospection about these features, one should set an achievable aim for oneself and think beyond unimpeachable. It’s not necessary to hit the bull’s eye, but it is mandatory to go for it if we need unmitigated success. We must quash all the shortcuts and past failure to reach an unprecedented and unrelenting aim. Success starts when one starts finding oneself, so always try to polish and chisel till one get it perfect.

After knowing oneself even if one fail, their efforts are revitalised and quantised like a bowman pulling out arrow from his quiver that is revived after being suppressed once. Instead of thinking about the times of failure, one should think of finding new ways to achieve one’s aim where every effort must be biddably coupled after every step of failure. We should think of every positive experience and outcome of life and see how they add up. Trust in one’s capabilities and calibre can help to entrench one’s effort more enthusiastically and self sufficiently.

Keeping all these things in mind, never allow your confidence to go beyond limits, because after that it will converge into a devil called “overconfidence” that will degrade one’s calibre and lengthen the path to success. So after having faith and belief in oneself, one can expect others to believe in them. After every step towards achievement of goal, will make us more happier than ever before.

"...evolution is an infinitely variable development of learning and cognition as well as of the acquisition of true love, knowledge and wisdom. And this process is granted to all coarse-matter life forms, as well as to all the domains of the spirit forms in their pure spirit-energy levels." Billy, Contact Report 228, May 1989

And the keystone of my thoughts is that the whole splendor of the world and the universe creates infinitely much joy, happiness and harmony within me in such a way that I linger in highest respect for the tremendous Creational display of splendor and love in reverential, silent devotion. Billy, Silent Devotion, 23rd January, 2005

True love, namely, surpasses all love which is thought-feeling generated, which, as a rule, only exhausts itself in degenerated emotions. Billy, A Little Bit of Knowledge, Sense, and Wisdom

What is so bad about becoming old then? Aging is not important, but rather how and what the human lives, what he makes out of his life, what good and positive as well as humane things he does and what he does in regard to being a human, how high he develops his consciousness, how positive and good he is, how he associates with the fauna and flora and how he treats, values, reveres and loves his fellow human. Therefore, what matters to the human is, in fact, not so much how long he walks the earth because what counts is all that which he achieves and accomplishes during his existence. Billy, Aging

Google comes up with practically zilch on this aphorist(?) who appears in ancient Murphy's quotelists, e.g. this. His quotes are also referenced in Stephen Spanoudis's site from 1994, the earliest I could find.


 * Feminist theologians tell us that God is female. But, what about the devil? What about her?
 * Never tell an accountant that he is a credit to his profession. A good accountant is a debit to his profession.
 * When a person says that technology is "out of control", he usually means that it is out of his control. This is usually a good thing.
 * A cynic is a person who refuses to share your illusions.
 * The road to affluence is paved with good inventions

 * "...sincerity is the well-spring of all lasting achievement, and that no good thing ever took root in untruth or self-deception."


 * "...if every excellent work is stamped with the personality of its author, no work can be enduring that is stamped with a borrowed stamp; and that, therefore, their first duty is to see that the thoughts, the emotions, the impressions they fix on he canvas are in very truth their own thoughts, their own emotions, their own spontaneous impressions, and not those of others."

Full text:

"Looking from a wide standpoint at this exhibition and embracing further in the field of vision the many and manifold exhibitions, especially of paintings, which each season brings forth; struck as we all must be, deeply with the vehement and almost feverish strife of conflicting theories and opinions which is rife about us, it is impossible not to feel how perplexing such a condition of things must be to the very young, who, on the outer threshold of their career, eager and still malleable, seek a secure path in such a labyrinth of contradictions. Extreme youth when it is healthy is bold and fearless, and not a little inclined to rebel against tradition, however rooted in the long assent of men. And here, gentlemen, I would not be misunderstood. Steeped as I am to my innermost marrow in reverence for the mighty men of the past to whom Art owes whatever true sublimity it boasts; convinced, unshakably, of the vital validity of the great principles on which their achievements rest, I am yet not one of those who would refuse to Art all power of evolution, or who believe that, though assuredly it will never reach more lofty summits, it may not send forth lateral green shoots fresh and delightful as only they are, indeed, nourished from the strong sap of the parent stem.

In brief, I do not believe - to change the metaphor - that they who, in our time, have wedded their lives to art have clasped to their breasts a lovely but lifeless corpse. To the very young then, I would fain offer one or two matters for thought, if, perchance, they will hearken to one who has grown old in unwavering sympathy with their struggles and doubts. I would beg them to keep ever before their eyes the vital truth that sincerity is the well-spring of all lasting achievement, and that no good thing ever took root in untruth or self-deception. I would urge them to remember that if every excellent work is stamped with the personality of its author, no work can be enduring that is stamped with a borrowed stamp; and that, therefore, their first duty is to see that the thoughts, the emotions, the impressions they fix on he canvas are in very truth their own thoughts, their own emotions, their own spontaneous impressions, and not those of others: for work that does not spring from the heart has no roots, and will of certainty wither and perish. The other maxim also I would urge on them - that true genius knows no hurry, that patience is of its essence, and thoroughness its constant mark; and, lastly, I would ask them to believe that the gathered experience of past ages is a precious heritage and not an irksome load; and that nothing will fortify them better for the future, and free development, than the reverent and loving study of the past."

José Moscardó

 * José Moscardó Ituarte (born 26 October 1878, Madrid, and died 12 April 1956, Madrid) was a Spanish soldier.

Feat: Defence of the Toledo fortress

The defense of the Toledo fortress was during the civil Spanish war (1936-1939), 21 July 1936 to 27 September 1936. The most remarkable fact was the conversation betwen Moscardó general (national side) and Cándido Cabello (republic side), it was this:

Cándido Cabello: You are responsibility of the crimes and of all that is happening in Toledo, and I give you a period of 10 minutes for that surrender the fortress, if you don´t do it, we will execute by firearm to your son that I have close to me.

Coronel Moscardó: I believe you!

Chief of the militias: And for that you could believe it, now he will take the phone.

Luis Moscardó Guzmán: Father!

Coronel Moscardó: My child, how´s things?

Luis Moscardó Guzmán: Nothing, that they said that they will be executed me by firearm if the fortress won´t surrender, but you don´t worry for my.

Coronel Moscardó: this is true you have to entrust your soul to God, shout a: live Christ the King and Spain, and you will be able to hero that will dead for these. Goodbye, my child, a very strong kiss!

Luis Moscardó Guzmán: Goodbye, father, a very strong kiss!

Cándido Cabello took another time the phone.

Coronel Moscardó: You can save the term that you gave me and executed to my son, because the fortress will never surrender.

(Luis Moscardó Guzmán died 23 August 1936 a the outskirts of Toledo)

Baba Amte

 * "I don't want to be a great leader; I want to be a man who goes around with a little oilcan and when he sees a breakdown, offers his help. To me, the man who does that is greater than any holy man in saffron-coloured robes. The mechanic with the oilcan: that is my ideal in life."


 * "I took up leprosy work not to help anyone, but to overcome that fear in my life. That it worked out good for others was a by-product. But the fact is I did it to overcome fear."

Pauline Nordin Quotes
“A well-built physique is a status symbol. It reflects you worked hard for it; no money can buy it. You cannot borrow it, you cannot inherit it, you cannot steal it. You cannot hold onto it without constant work. It shows discipline, it shows self-respect, it shows patience, work ethic, and passion. That is why I do what I do. -Pauline Nordin founder of Fighterdiet

“He trusted me and I was the custodian of his safe. He gave me the key to his safe, tied to his prayer bead. I was the treasurer who opened the safe, made payments to people, or issued donations to the needy. I would read from a list and he would say give so and so this amount and tell so and so to come back some other time.”

Ramon Andres Quevedo
Good afternoon,

A former teacher of mine, Ramon A. Qeuevedo, that worked at Bebensee Elementary in Arlington, TX would say, "Of course you don't know it, it is called learning. if you knew it, it would be called review.". or "of course you don't know it, it is called learning. if you already knew it, it would be called review." I see that one version of this quote is listed in Quotepark.com and the quote is attributed to him. What can I do to include the quote here?

I believe he is now a Mathematics Teacher at Nichols Junior High School in Arlington, Texas.
