      Quotations by John Stott (14)

      John Stott was an English Anglican cleric and theologian who was noted as a leader of the worldwide evangelical movement. Here are some representative quotations by John Stott:

      A Christian should resemble a fruit tree with real fruit, not a Christmas tree with decorations tied on.

      Apathy is the acceptance of the unacceptable.

      Baptism with water is the sign and seal of baptism with the Spirit, as much as it is of the forgiveness of sins. Water-baptism is the initiatory Christian rite, because Spirit-baptism is the initiatory Christian experience.

      Good conduct arises out of good doctrine.

      Grace is love that cares and stoops and rescues.

      Persecution is simply the clash between two irreconcilable value-systems.

      Pride is more than the first of the seven deadly sins; it is itself the essence of all sin.

      Social responsibility becomes an aspect not of Christian mission only, but also of Christian conversion. It is impossible to be truly converted to God without being thereby converted to our neighbor.

      The concept of substitution lies at the heart of both sin and salvation. For the essence of sin is man substituting himself for God, while the essence of salvation is God substituting himself for man.

      The symbol of the religion of Jesus is the cross, not the scales.

      To ‘evangelize’... does not mean to win converts... but simply to announce the good news, irrespective of the results.

      We live and die; Christ died and lived!

      We must be global Christians with a global vision because our God is a global God.

      Word and worship belong indissolubly to each other. All worship is an intelligent and loving response to the revelation of God, because it is the adoration of His name. Therefore, acceptable worship is impossible without preaching. For preaching is making known the name of the Lord, and worship is praising the name of the Lord made known.

      Quotations by John Stuart Mill (31)

      John Stuart Mill was an English philosopher, political economist, Member of Parliament and civil servant. Here are some representative quotations by John Stuart Mill:

      A person may cause evil to others not only by his actions but by his inaction, and in either case he is justly accountable to them for injury.

      A profound conviction raises a man above the feeling of ridicule.

      All good things which exist are the fruits of originality.

      All that makes existence valuable to any one depends on the enforcement of restraints upon the actions of other people.

      Although it is not true that all conservatives are stupid people, it is true that most stupid people are conservative.

      Among the facts of the universe to be accounted for, it may be said, is Mind; and it is self evident that nothing can have produced mind but mind.

      Any participation, even in the smallest public function, is useful.

      Ask yourself whether you are happy and you cease to be so.

      Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing.

      Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are conservatives.

      Eccentricity has always abounded when and where strength of character has abounded; and the amount of eccentricity in a society has generally been proportional to the amount of genius, mental vigor, and moral courage which it contained.

      Human nature is not a machine to be built after a model, and set to do exactly the work prescribed for it, but a tree, which requires to grow and develop itself on all sides, according to the tendency of the inward forces which make it a living thing.

      In all intellectual debates, both sides tend to be correct in what they affirm, and wrong in what they deny.

      In this age, the mere example of nonconformity, the mere refusal to bend the knee to custom, is itself a service.

      It is better to be a human being dissatisfied than a pig satisfied; better to be Socrates dissatisfied than a fool satisfied.

      It is questionable if all the mechanical inventions yet may have lightened the days toil of any human being.

      Leaving things to the government, like leaving them to providence, is synonymous with not caring about them.

      Mankind are greater gainers by suffering each other to live as seems good the themselves, than by compelling each other to live as seems good to the rest.

      No great improvements in the lot of mankind are possible until a great change takes place in the fundamental constitution of their modes of thought.

      Nothing contributes more to nourish elevation of sentiments in a people, than the large and free character of their habitations.

      One person with a belief is equal to ninety-nine who have only interests.

      Over himself, over his own body and mind, the individual is sovereign.

      Stupidity is much the same all the world over. A stupid person's notions and feelings may confidently be inferred from those which prevail in the circle by which the person is surrounded. Not so with those whose opinions and feelings are an emanation from their own nature and faculties.

      The amount of eccentricity in a society has generally been proportional to the amount of genius, mental vigor, and moral courage it contained. That so few now dare to be eccentric marks the chief danger of the time.

      The great creative individual...is capable of more wisdom and virtue than collective man ever can be.

      The most cogent reason for restricting the interference of government is the great evil of adding unnecessarily to its power.

      There are many truths of which the full meaning cannot be realized until personal experience has brought it home.

      There is a limit to the legitimate interference of collective opinion with individual independence: and to find that limit, and maintain it against encroachment, is as indispensable to a good condition of human affairs, as protection against political despotism.

      There is an imaginary circle drawn around every human being, over which no government should be able to step.

      War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse.

      Whatever helps to shape the human being - to make the individual what he is, or hinder him from being what he is not - is part of his education.

      Quotations by John Taylor Wood (31)

      John Taylor Wood was an officer in the United States Navy and the Confederate Navy. Here are some representative quotations by John Taylor Wood:

      A good exercise for the heart is to bend down and help another up.

      A little bait catches a large fish.

      All human actions have one of these causes: chance, nature, compulsion, habit, reason, passion and desire.

      Among men some are jewels and some are pebbles.

      Don't go to the gym for the hell of it. Go for the health of it.

      Don't wait for the ship to come in. Row out and meet it.

      Food without hospitality is a medicine.

      Give in this world. Receive in the next.

      God gives food, but does he cook it and put it in the mouth?

      I believe God touched the lives of each and every person who made a quote that guides humanity toward Heaven.

      If you don't want to work, you have to work to earn enough money so that you won't have to work.

      It takes a good person to know a good person; unfortunately few know me.

      Keep your ideals high enough to inspire you and low enough to encourage you.

      Man without sense is like a blind man with a looking glass.

      No one is disgusted with his own bad smell.

      Not in time, place or circumstance, but in man lies success.

      Nothing good or bad, but thinking makes it so.

      Our thoughts determine our responses to life.

      Reach high for stars that lie hidden in your soul. Dream deep, for every dream proceeds a goal.

      Success comes before work only in the dictionary.

      The best way to solve any problem is to remove its cause.

      The greater the price in effort, the greater the reward.

      The harder you work, the luckier you get.

      We are not victims of the world. To the extent that we control our thought, we control the world.

      What can't be done easily rarely gets done.

      When the field was sown without being plowed. it yielded without being reaped.

      When you can't change the direction of the winds, adjust your sails.

      When you find yourself in a hole, quit digging.

      Wisdom is the gray hair unto men. The wise how to quit the world before the world quits.

      With one hand I do not even tie a knot.

      You cannot clap with one hand alone.

      Quotations by John Updike (62)

      John Updike was an American novelist, poet, short-story writer, art critic and literary critic. Here are some representative quotations by John Updike:

      A cynic is a kind of romantic who has aged.

      America is a vast conspiracy to make you happy.

      An affair wants to spill, to share its glory with the world. No act is so private it does not seek applause.

      Any activity becomes creative when the doer cares about doing it right, or doing it better.

      Being naked approaches being revolutionary; going barefoot is mere populism.

      But cities aren't like people; they live on and on, even though their reason for being where they are has gone downriver and out to sea.

      But it is just two lovers, holding hands and in a hurry to reach their car, their locked hands a starfish leaping through the dark.

      Cities aren't like people; they live on and on, even though their reason for being where they are has gone downriver and out to sea.

      Dreams come true; without that possibility, nature would not incite us to have them.

      Driving is boring, Rabbit pontificates, but it's what we do. Most of American life is driving somewhere and then driving back wondering why the hell you went.

      Every marriage tends to consist of an aristocrat and a peasant. Of a teacher and a learner.

      If you do enough small things right, big things can happen.

      If you spend too much time learning the 'tricks' of the trade, you may not learn the trade. There are no shortcuts. If you're working on finding a short cut, the easy way, you're not working hard enough on the fundamentals. You may get away with it for a spell, but there is no substitute for the basics. And the first basic is good, old fashioned hard work.

      Make your yes mean yes, and your no mean no.

      Material possessions, winning scores, and great reputations are meaningless in the eyes of the Lord, because He knows what we really are and that is all that matters.

      Mentors are available at all stages of your leadership life - early, middle and late. Seek them out and listen; absorb their knowledge and use it.

      Mix idealism with realism and add hard work. This will often bring much more than you could ever hope for.
