“Real leaders aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty.”

You can’t stand still. You either go forward or backward.

Dare to risk public criticism.

Even the smallest achievements pave a way to great success.

Some people drift through their entire life. They do it one day at a time, one week at a time, one month at a time. It happens so gradually they are unaware of how their lives are slipping away until it’s too late.

No, I am not afraid; the Lord said he would protect me, and I have full confidence in His word.

Faith in something greater than ourselves enables us to do what we have said we’ll do, to press forward when we are tired or hurt or afraid, to keep going when the challenge seems overwhelming and the course is entirely uncertain.

Great innovation only happens when people aren’t afraid to do things differently.

You cannot get an A if you’re afraid of getting an F.

A religious ought to dread more being afraid of poverty than experiencing it.

Wanted, a man who will not lose his individuality in a crowd, a man who has the courage of his convictions, who is not afraid to say “No,” though all the world say “Yes.

Let’s not be afraid to look at everything that has brought us to where we are now and trust that we will soon see in it the guiding hand of a loving God.
