John C. Maxwell

A minute of thought is greater than an hour of talk.

A man must be big enough to admit his mistakes, smart enough to profit from them, and strong enough to correct them.

A successful person finds the right place for himself. But a successful leader finds the right place for others.

The best leaders are humble enough to realize their victories depend upon their people.

The difference between average people and achieving people is their perception of and response to failure.

Teamwork makes the dream work, but a vision becomes a nightmare when the leader has a big dream and a bad team.

You get in life what you have the courage to ask for.

If you want to reach a goal, you must ‘see the reaching’ in your own mind before you actually arrive at your goal.

Courage is on display every day, and only the courageous wring the most out of life.

Talent is formed in solitude, character in the bustle of the world.

I am a visceral person by nature. I act on instinct, quickly, without pondering possible disaster and without indulging in deep introspection.

Fortunately, problems are an everyday part of our life. Consider this: If there were no problems, most of us would be unemployed.

Flow with whatever may happen and let your mind be free: Stay centered by accepting whatever you are doing. This is the ultimate.

Stumbling is not the same as falling.

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.

All young people, regardless of sexual orientation or identity, deserve a safe and supportive environment in which to achieve their full potential.

Time well spent results in more money to spend, more money to save, and more time to vacation.

If you’re going through hell, keep going.

Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success.

I am not a product of my circumstances. I am a product of my decisions.

The majority of men meet with failure because of their lack of per sistence in creating new plans to take the place of those that fail.
