4th of July Quotes INDEPENDENCE DAY

Quotes About 4th of July (Independence Day)

  • Extreme independence is as destructive to a relationship as total dependence.
  • Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.   Abraham Lincoln
  • How little do my countrymen know what precious blessings they are in possession of, and which no other people on earth enjoy! --THOMAS JEFFERSON
  • Independence is not strength but unrealized weakness and is the very essence of sin. There was no independence in our Lord, the great characteristic of his life was submission to his Father.
  • Never trouble another for what you can do for yourself. --THOMAS A. EDISON
  • No matter what other nations may say about the United States, immigration is still the sincerest form of flattery.
  • Of all the different purposes set before mankind, the most disastrous is surely "the pursuit of happiness," slipped into the American Declaration of Independence along with "life and liberty" as an unalienable right, almost accidentally, at the last moment. Happiness is like a young deer, fleet and beautiful. Hunt him, and he becomes a poor frantic quarry; after the kill, a piece of stinking flesh.
  • One flag, one land, one heart, one hand. Happy Independence Day!
  • Sin is not wrongdoing; it is wrong being, deliberate and emphatic independence of God.
  • The American Revolution was a beginning, not a consummation. Woodrow Wilson
  • Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.  Thomas Paine
  • To all of my friends. I wish you a Happy 4th of July! Have a safe blessed day. May almighty God bless the United States of America! Amen!

As John Maxwell says in today’s lesson, “The more we grow, the more we know we need to grow.” As we develop ourselves, our awareness of the areas in which we need to improve expands. So, in today’s episode, John teaches something that author Ken Blanchard calls “the four development levels that move people from dependence to independence.” 
In other words, these are the stages through which we become less dependent on what got us here and more focused on what will take us there. After John’s lesson, Mark Cole and Chris Goede discuss their own journeys from dependence to independence and how they are applying these principles at Maxwell Leadership.
