Inspirational Quotations  A-C
Dear Reader,
 
For over two decades I have collected quotes from books and magazines I’ve read as well as from internet searches when researching certain topics or themes.  This collection is made to be added to as I continue to collect and by you also if you have quotes you would like us to add to this working compilation.  Simply add them as a comment and once approved we will join them to the collection. 
            Three disclaimers:  1.  Oswald Chambers is my all-time hero as a writer-speaker and therefore you will find that by far he is the most quoted author/speaker.  If you have never heard of him, I highly recommend My Utmost For His Highest.   2.  This collection is heavily tilted towards ministry—if you are in ministry and love speaking and writing you will get the most out of this.  Regardless, there is much for anyone.  3.  Do not assume quotations reflect my viewpoint. I’ve included a vast array of thoughts and opinions not because I agree with them but because they are thought-provoking.  The beauty of language is often found in the formatting and word selection!  
            Finally, this collection is offered free.  If you find it to be useful and you frequently hunt for quotes for speaking or writing here, please consider donating to First Cause which you can do right on this website.  Your gift helps us build better speakers and writers globally!    Enjoy!

Attitude

We may not be able to choose our circumstances, but we can choose our attitude towards them.—Hellen Keller
Words can never adequately convey the incredible impact of our attitudes toward life. The longer I live the more convinced I become that life is 10 percent what happens to us and 90 percent how we respond to it.—Charles Swindoll

If we are to see the poor as God sees them, we first have us repent of our judgmental attitudes and feelings of superiority. —Richard Stearns in The Hole in our Gospel

People may hear your words, but they feel your attitude.—John C. Maxwell

Everything can be taken from a man or a woman but one thing: the last of human freedoms to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.—Viktor Frankl

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.  Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do.  It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill.  It will make or break a company . . . a church . . . a home.  The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.  We cannot change our past . . . we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way.  We cannot change the inevitable.  The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude . . . I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you . . . we are in charge of our attitudes.—Charles Swindoll

We were a prey to the most cruel reflections; we were humiliated, we were hopeless; but not a word of complaint was heard. (French soldier quoted in the Battle of Waterloo).—Sir Edward Creasy in The Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World From Marathon to Waterloo

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.—John C Maxwell

The remarkable thing is, we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.—Charles Swindoll

What is the difference between an obstacle and an opportunity? Our attitude toward it.  Every opportunity has a difficulty, and every difficulty has an opportunity.—J. Sidlow Baxter

Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.—Thomas Jefferson

You cannot tailor-make the situations in life, but you can tailor-make the attitudes to fit those situations.—Zig Ziglar

Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude.—Zig Ziglar

Ability is what you’re capable of doing.  Motivation determines what you do.  Attitude determines how well you do it.—Lou Holtz

Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.—Winston Churchill

Our attitude is visible on our faces, discernible in our words and palpable in our body language. If you’re having a bad attitude day, month or lifetime, you can be certain that everybody you come in contact with knows it and feels it. When you walk into a room with a lousy attitude, it’s like a storm front approaching. Everyone sees it and wonders how bad it’s going to get. The impact of a lousy attitude extends quietly outward, systematically poisoning the working environment.—Art Petty

Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character.—Albert Einstein

Positive leaders beget a positive environment.—Art Petty

Everything can be taken from a man or a woman but one thing: the last of human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances . . .—Victor Frankl

Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation.—Brian Tracy

Challenges are what make life interesting and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful. –Joshua J. Marine

If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little matters. Excellence is not an exception, it is a prevailing attitude.—Colin Powell

The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person who is doing it.—Chinese Proverb

Fall seven times and stand up eight.—Japanese Proverb

If the wind will not serve, take to the oars.—Latin Proverb   
    
More attitudes have probably been shaped for good or ill by a chief executive’s manner toward employees sharing an elevator ride than by his or her eloquently worded pronouncement intended to make a profound and lasting impression on thousands of lives for generations to come.—Chris Lowney in Heroic Leadership
​

. . . people with negative attitudes don’t have a learner’s heart.—Dr. Kevin Leman and William Pentak in The Way Of The Shepherd
