I do not even know who this person is, but again, a wonderful quote:

"These birds and animals and fish cannot speak, but they can suffer, and our God who created them, knows their sufferings, and will hold him who causes them to suffer unnecessarily to answer for it. It is a sin against their Creator." - George Q. Cannon

That is a wonderful quote, found it sourced here. I agree George Q. Cannon should have an article. HouseOfChange (talk) 14:01, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nikki Hornsby

Inside all of Nikki Hornsby's commerically released music CDs is a quote she wrote years ago that should be in the Wikiquote webpage.

"I'll never touch a cloud with my fingertips but that doesn't mean I shouldn't try!".

Please add

Thank you, CJP Staff

Another one Nikki wrote in college as a Psych & Theology Major is: "I see the faults that make us human and cry from pure joy that we are"

One more that she wrote when she was in grade school: "I'd rather face the consequences of the truth, than the reprocussions of a lie"

John C. Maxwell

edit

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

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 w: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."

'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

  • "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." [1]

Hello, I have written a lot of quotes down, but can not publish the text because I am told it is "harmful". Why?


  • Frankly speaking, those who think that this world is pleasurable are not suited for our practice. For they have not yet come to a deadlock in their lives, wich becomes a motive of spiritual practice.
    • The First Speech
  • For example, here is an orange. Suppose that a man eats it for the first time an thinks, "Oh how delicious an range is!" Altough he may think it delicious at first, what if he eats five, ten or twenty oranges a day? What if he does so every day? He will sureley get tired of them, won´t he? By the same token, he gets tired of any kind of expirience sooner or later.
    • The First Speech
  • You should attain enlightenment through Jnana Yoga and then attain emancipation through Kundalini Yoga.
    • The First Speech

“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.

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.
