Top 15 John C. Maxwell Quotes

Leadership is not about titles, positions or flowcharts. It is about one life influencing another.

We cannot become what we need by remaining what we are.

Change is inevitable. Growth is optional.

The greatest day in your life and mine is when we take total responsibility for our attitudes. That's the day we truly grow up.

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

Leaders must be close enough to relate to others, but far enough ahead to motivate them.

Talent is a gift, but character is a choice.

Life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it.

Success is...
knowing your purpose in life,
growing to reach your maximum potential, and
sowing seeds that benefit others.

if you don't have peace, it isn't because someone took it from you; you gave it away. You cannot always control what happens to you, but you can control what happens in you.

If we are growing we are always going to be outside our
comfort zone.

Poem by Howard A. Walter (Character)

I would be true, for there are those who trust me;
I would be pure, for there are those who care;
I would be strong, for there are those who suffer;
I would be brave, for there is much to dare.
I would be friend of all — - the foe, the friendless;
I would be giving, and forget the gift;
I would be humble, for I know my weakness;
I would look up, and laugh, and love, and lift.

Learn to say 'no' to the good so you can say 'yes' to the best.

The greatest mistake we make is living in constant fear that we will make one.
