Growing up, I never was a big follower of the Dodgers.
There is absolutely nothing in what Jesus himself or his early followers taught that suggests you can decide just to enjoy forgiveness at Jesus' expense and have nothing more to do with him.
I think everybody has a little rule follower and a little rule breaker in them.
Let's commit ourselves to being true disciples of Jesus Christ. Not mere fair-weather followers, but disciples.
Leaders have followers. The primary role of a leader is to convey to those followers a sense of purpose, vision, and mission.
I think for a lot of people, it's just where their saturation point was. Once you get into the [Donald] Trump stuff and the Republican stuff and the Ayn Rand followers, it doesn't let up for about half an hour. It gets hard and stays hard for a while.
To a visitor who asked to become his disciple the Master said, "You may live with me, but don't become my follower. " "Whom, then, shall I follow?" "No one. The day you follow someone you cease to follow Truth.
It's a great way of getting my word out. I love Twitter and tweeting, and I have - between that and Facebook, I have like 10 million followers. It's a great way. Now if you do something bad to me, I can tweet about Chris. And the world will be seeing it.
Leaders must live by higher standards than their followers.
There's no polite way to say to somebody (religious followers) 'Do you realize you've wasted your life?
Marxism, Freudianism, global warming. These are proof - of which history offers so many examples - that people can be suckers on a grand scale. To their fanatical followers they are a substitute for religion. Global warming, in particular, is a creed, a faith, a dogma that has little to do with science.
It is not difficult to destroy Islam. Islam is the pumped up ego of a megalomaniac psychopath. Muhammad was a narcissist madman. Just as a huge balloon can be deflated by a small needle, all it takes to make Islam explode is to ridicule its loony inventor and its brainless followers.
Religion is for followers. . . Followers and puppets.
Be a follower of JESUS CHRIST--I am not seeking followers of my own. Don't be a follower of a MAN--but of CHRIST!
The followers of Jesus did not die for what they believed - they died for what they claim to have seen.
Don’t initiate! Follow the initiator! Follow the follower.
I want to tell every fan that I appreciate them with a retweet or reply but I don't want my account to lose my own tweets. I don't my fans to have to go through a bunch of replies to get to my own tweets right? In the big picture though I do read all of the tweets and I appreciate all of my followers and my fans.
Be a leader, not a follower. Never let anyone tell you what you can and cannot be.
. . . there is an irrational, cultish tendency in many intellectual movements, and Objectivism, alas, is no exception. Ayn Rand's personal obsession with loyalty did little to discourage this trend. . . . Rand had often protested, 'Protect me from my followers!'
I don't want followers.
