“There should be less talk. A preaching point is not a meeting point.”
Mother Teresa of Calcutta
“It takes more than talking points and consultative knowhow. What sets apart a legitimate and competent advisor from an everyday business consultant is his ability to not only provide recommendations, but indeed stand behind them, and endeavor to personally implement them.”
Quentin Braun
“There should be less talk; a preaching point is not a meeting point. What do you do then? Take a broom and clean someone's house. That says enough.”
“He does not preach what he practices till he has practiced what he preaches.”
Confucius
“The test of a preacher is that his congregation goes away saying, not, 'What a lovely sermon!' but 'I will do something.'”
Billy Graham
“Did St. Francis preach to the birds? Whatever for? If he really liked birds he would have done better to preach to the cats.”
Rebecca West
“A preacher must be both soldier and shepherd. He must nourish, defend, and teach; he must have teeth in his mouth, and be able to bite and fight.”
Martin Luther
