An entire nation shook under the power of one man’s [MLK’s] dream! Now if one dream can do that for our nation, imagine what a dream can do for the Church.

If you are someone who dislikes, condemns and rejects new ideas, you aren’t fit to lead.

You can’t shower happiness on others without getting few drops back on yourself.

You can’t afford to limit your joy. It has been proven several times that angry people are never happy people.

Anyone who wants to prevent you from making other people happy is an enemy. If you are stopping yourself from making others happy, you are your own enemy.

You put your own joy in prison if you work hard to make other people’s happiness suffocate.

Do what you can with all love and passion irrespective of whether it pays you well or not. Joy in the result lives longer than the joy in the reward.

The essence of one life is empowering another life, and so your passion has to be linked to the liberation of other people’s happiness.

Hatred is a burden that can hunt you day by day, robbing you off your personal joy in broad day light.

Haters can never rejoice especially when their enemy wins. The moment you can’t be happy when someone wins, watch yourself. That habit is not good for you.

Sometimes, people don’t need our monies and our treasures. All they need is our encouragements to give them hope.

Let these words be your guide; money or no money, houses or no houses, cars or no cars, never turn down the divine assignment of God for your life. Become an inspiration to another life through good service and healthy relationship.

A leader’s meal is that unstoppable desire to stay late to see his dreams achieved. They never give up.

Some bad friends are so crafty in such a way that by the time their mission is reveal, they have already executed portions of it.

Get this; without a continuous struggle, your previous struggles will become a waste. Stay on and hold on until the success become evident.

Most of the people who attempt to draw back the success of the world are those who don’t care about anything. They live life every day without asking why.

It’s never wrong to be rich, but I want to believe, success is not limited to riches; it involves influence. If your riches don't create any impact, you are missing it.

At the end of it all, it is our relationship with people that will determine whether they will share in our pain if we fall into dangers.

A leader’s goal is to remain relevant even when time changes.

The same styles you used earlier may become monotonous over time. You want to remain relevant, so you got to change that style. Reinvent yourself always: You must create a new you

The change the world needs is not in the hand of everyone who is alive. It is in the works of those who deliberately contribute to make it a better place.

Watch out success will only arrive when your action are strong enough to attract them.

The same styles you used earlier may become monotonous over time. You want to remain relevant, so you got to change that style.

The height of your success will be measured with reference to the depth from which you started.

Never take tiny dreams for granted. They contain giant success stories.

The rise or fall, success or failure of your dreams is largely dependent on the association you build yourself around.

Keep to active learning. You must learn, research and be so passionate about new ways and methods of doing things to be and remain relevant.

I suggest to you, late or not late, the moment you have discovered that the mission of someone is to pee on your dreams, keep him away or keep away from him.

You can’t work with people you hate and succeed. At least, you won’t get the optimum of what you would have obtained when you work with people you love.

The essence of adversity is to show us the real brave people who can withstand it.

Calamities reveal your capabilities. Take note of this and when times get odd, prepare and shine.

Remember, one step leads to the other and therefore never neglect the first step. It will give you the confidence you need to sail through with victory

I trust that you are aware that today’s success is tomorrow’s mediocrity. This means anything appealing today will be appalling tomorrow.

People who boast about age are actually forgetting something special. Age is not barrier to or elevator to success that’s the job of vision.

One of the first steps to successful leadership is to always forget your age and remember your dream regularly.

One of the first steps to successful leadership is to forget your age and remember your dream.

Most people who were educated have become the "problems" instead of problem solvers.

Make your education valuable. Apply what you learnt. Refuse to take the back seat and watch things happen. Join the change and be part of the change.

Education is not merely meant for you to write and pass exams, get a good job and a good spouse, and settle down for survival.

If you hate to think, you are not different from some who is peeing on his academic certificates. The goal of education is to help you to think and lead.

Most of the world’s problems are caused by people who made education compulsory, but personal development optional. Because of them, we have many intelligent people who lack good characters.

Keep your promises and never be late in acting. Act right and do the right things at the right time.

The most difficult step ever is the first step. It comes with doubts, uncertainties, and all sort of fears. If you defy all odd and take it, your confidence will replicate very fast and you'll become a master!

The only person to influence the direction and purpose of your life is the one who gave it. God!

Leadership is self-made. People who have deliberately decided to become problems solver lead better.

Sometimes, people don’t need our homes to live in or our bodies to lean on. All they need are our hands to lift them up.

People who achieve marvelously in critical challenges are commended than people who achieve same things on the silver platter.

Bear it in mind that people who do not take actions are not and cannot be leaders. Leadership is action.

Good people who are always silent for bad people to gain freedom and do their worsts are the most dangerous wastes the world ever has.

If you create an environment of conflicts, I don’t think you will enjoy peace yourself.

Sometimes the only things preventing your dreams from becoming realities is the long time it is taking you to start.

Don’t just have dreams. Take actions too. To make it possible, begin every dream with a simple action and your interest will beam out.

Be passionate about your dreams and never give sleep to your eyes until your good becomes better and your better becomes the best.

You will never be rewarded for the dreams you slept over day in day out. You will be rewarded for dreams you stay awake and achieved.

Until you let go of that bitterness in your heart, it will find a comfortable place to destroy your dreams, your sight and most times, your sleep.

Don’t only think of which job to get and live on. Think about which problem to solve and the jobs will keep suggesting themselves.

Cruel people are not only people who kill innocent people with guns. Individuals who steal from government coffers to enrich themselves at the expense of the poor are grossly cruel.

People who always want to be at convenient places won’t make a change at controversial places.

Five people with passion can do better than fifty people with mere desire or interest.

It is as simple as that. Birds fly because they have wings and so when you can’t grow the wings, you can’t be called a bird. Leaders make impacts because they create new ideas and so if you can’t think of any new innovative ideas, you can’t be a leader.

Until you fall in love with positive change, becoming passionate about improving the status quo, you won’t become a leader.

A great number isn’t bad though, but doesn’t take numbers to change the world.

What it takes is the passion to lead and the commitment to that passion through a lifetime. A great number isn’t bad though, but doesn’t take numbers to change the world.

Be the initiator of things you wish to see, but can’t see. Be the originator of things you wish you feel but can’t feel.

The leader’s joy is the success of change, the evidence of progress and the actualization of a better life.

Never undermine the power of passion. You have a very high chance of achieving anything you are passionate about.

Try not to leave your work for someone else to do. If possible, carry the work of someone and add it to yours. That's a trait of leaders!

You can lead if you can serve. You can serve when you can love. You can love when you are graced. The truth is that God knows love will be needed in volumes, this is why he made his grace abundant. Leaders are lovers. Misleaders are haters!

Most times, the leader’s ornament isn’t the smiles you see on their faces during the time of victory. It is the sweats we don’t see when they were struggling behind the scenes.

Ensure you have done each day’s portion of the heavy responsibilities resting on you. Never delay your success!

When you give up because challenges arise, you are just too ignorant about the power of the gifts you carry within you.

Never let hatred give you an escort. It will drag your attention from all fortunes along the way.

You don’t see someone flying and you begin to bite yourself for not being able to do that. You do what you can.

Everyone appears to be courageous until bad weathers arrive, and then we know the true leaders.

When dark situations arise, it is opportunity for you to reveal the leader in you. Rise and deal with them.

Love people who hate you and their hatred won’t get grounds to gain roots.

Ballot papers don’t determine who leads; they determine who takes which position. As to whether that person occupying the position will lead or will manipulate, character must come to prove it.

Would people be excited about your departure from the earth or they would wish you should come back again and again if possible?

The leader’s commandment is made up of pledges to solve local and global problems, and not to create more problems to add to the existing ones.

A leader’s cross is the temporal pain they go through and his crown is the permanent gain when at last victory is achieved.

Don’t always complain the way isn’t there. If you can’t find the way, create it.

If you are an aspiring leader and you have not yet gone through any trouble, prepare for one. It is by going through the hard times that you become harder against the storms of life.

I was taught that the most hardworking nurse is found at the dirtiest part of the clinical ward.

People who swim very well in troubled waters are respected and celebrated than those who swim excellently in calm waters.

People who run away from challenges are cowards and no coward deserves a reward.

Don’t complain of terrible circumstances. It has been proven several times that they are the sources of celebrated trophies.

The strongest storms make the best sailors. The strongest games make the best players. Tougher challenges make the best leaders.

Leadership is about taking people from a good place to a better place where they would not regret to be.

When the leader grows, the organization grows.

When the leader goes wayward, the organization goes wayward.

This is an everyday question and you must take note of it always. When you wake up, it should be among your number one thoughts. What are you doing for others?

Don’t wait for someone else to do it so you enjoy. You can’t do it yourself. Just try it.

No one has the right to pee on your dreams!

Whatever you want is behind the mountain of struggles. Nothing great comes with ease.

Don’t reduce your impacts to match what you earn.

The active minority in the world is the fraction that makes the world a better place for the passive majority.

You don’t need a huge number of people with little passions to get a good job done. You rather need few people with huge passion.

Leaders make impacts. If your riches don’t help you to make impacts, you aren’t leading anyone; rather, money is leading you.

You missed it when you pay more attention to the damaged car in the mechanic shop than the sick human being in the hospital.

Leaders know how to set priorities. They focus on the task that requires the most rapid attention.

Whatever comes to you in a cheap way will vanish in a cheap way. Be patient and earn it the hard way.

Avoid trying to win tough battles on the silver platter. If the struggle is tough the success is sweet.

Develop the muscles for hard work and never be an early quitter.

Leaders face battles. They don’t run away from troubles.

If you’re going to give up after few attempts, bear it in mind that your struggles are going to be wasted.

Most times, the way isn’t clear, but you want to start anyway. It is in starting with the first step that other steps become clearer.

When you are silent on the truth, you have given a transport fare for the lie to travel and spread fast.

A dream without an action is like a fish without gills. It can’t survive.

Until you step in the game and influence the skills, you will never change the score line.

It is good to exercise patience. But never let your patience be the type that will keep you refrained from acting.

A leader is a thorn in the flesh of oppressive people. They never feel comfortable when a leader stands up.

Leaders fight hard wars againstinjustice and unfairness. Theybelieve that the truth is a weapon;when triggered, the lie dies.

Hiding the truth is as evil as feedingthe lie grow tough muscles.

Promised yourself never to keep quiet on the truth. Speak it out and let the lie die

When liberators hide their liberty tools, injustice prevails. True leaders intervene by dealing with injustice before it passes puberty.

If you are going to hide yourself and you will not stand against the work of the bad people, you have given them an endorsement.

Silence is very dangerous, especially when your words can be the only source of healing at a moment.

I noticed that volcanoes, earthquakes and floods, though are not good events, they are better than the silence of good people when bad people take the podium. The latter are to an extent uncontrollable, but the former can be stopped.

A leader is someone who creates better ways of doing things and better ways are new and comfortable ways.

If you are not going to divorce the status quo, you will give birth to mediocrity.

A leader’s goal is to improve on upon the past and if your goal is to remain where you are, doing the same things you have done times and times again, you can’t lead.

Never reject the opportunity to take the first step. The first step is the key to obtaining the experience you have longed for.

The most risky day in the world will be the day the bird will decide to swim and the fish will decide to fly. Stay glued to what you can do.

It is not just about what you can do that will make you a leader. It is about how well you can do it.

The more you concentrate on what you discover that you will be good for you to pursue, the more experienced you will be while doing it.

This fact is that the heaviest and more burdensome load ever is neither the cement bag nor the iron rod. It is hatred.

Harbour no hatred in your heart against anyone. People who do this have placed their influence on the risky line.

If you will always remember your age and forget your dream, you will live great years and narrow impacts will come out of it.

A self-leader looks around for problems, and then thinks deep to device solutions to them.

And don’t forget, if you are very intelligent but load yourself with bad characters, nobody will follow you.

Never let your tiny age misguide you to think the time is not yet up. Get up and do it at any age.

You can’t be a self-leader if you are an enemy to yourself. Stop the hatred and love yourself.

To influence people with your leadership gifts, you don’t make them your enemies. When they are your enemies, they won’t take your words seriously; neither will they support your actions.

Since you can’t be influence by people who hate you, you cannot influence people you hate also.

Not money, not fame and not positions can transform an enemy into a friend but rather, it is love that can do such a job.

Age in just a number. It carries no weight. The real weight is in impacts. The truth is that you can do it at any age. Get up and be willing to leave a mark.

You don’t influence people by commanding them. When you are doing that, you are a manipulator and not a leader.

Just as you won’t enjoy the fruits of the tree you dislike, so you won’t even wait to learn from people you hate.

You can decide to refuse to allow people who aim at hating you to achieve their aims.

In the years since his murder, we have transformed King into a kind of innocuous black Santa Claus.

The evidence of Martin Luther King Jnr’s “I have a dream” declaration was a passionate confirmation of how a dream meant for liberation, success and fulfilled life can become true.

True compassion does not sit on the laps of renovation; it dives with an approach to reconstruction. Don't throw a coin at a begger. Rather, destroy his source of poverty.

Tolstoy was a Caucasian, Gandhi was an Asian, and Martin Luther King Jr. was a Negro, yet all of their hearts were inspired by the one idea of nonviolent resistance. King received it from Gandhi, Gandhi received it from Tolstoy, and Tolstoy received it from Christ.

We knew no one man had killed the prophet. Rather, the combined weight of racism and an absence of moral courage had crushed him. A constitution ignored, laws denied, these were the weapons. America pulled the trigger.

We can’t answer King’s assassination with violence. That would be the worst tribute we could pay him.

On Slavery: The saddest slap in the face is we have NO monument, no real statues or memorials, no special day of Atonement or Remembrance (NOT ONE), no thanks for 400+ years of free labor, forced servitude across the Trans-Atlantic, ass beatings, buying ourselves and families out of slavery, rape and plunder...but everyone else has monuments, special museums, and even movies. This is what America thinks of black people, so-called black president and all, who has been largely silent on this subject...we'll even celebrate Leprechauns, Easter Bunnies, and Secretary's Day before we acknowledge our history.

If a man hasn’t found something he will die for, he isn’t fit to live.

You don't have to stand up for your rights to get justice, sometimes you can sit for your rights like Rosa Parks.
