Here are some of my favorite John Maxwell quotes:
• Nobody gets anywhere in life without the help of others.
• If you want people to be impressed talk about your successes, if you want people to identify with • you talk about your failures.
• A procrastinator puts off until tomorrow the things he has already put off until today.
• Your attitude is either your best friend or your worst enemy, your greatest asset or your greatest liability.
• Leadership by definition cannot be a one man show.
• You will acquire the vices & virtues of your closest associates. The fragrance of their lives will pervade your life.
• In the end, people are persuaded not by what we say, but by what they understand.
• Connecting is never about me. It’s about the person with whom I am communicating.
• A man must be big enough to admit his mistakes, smart enough to profit from them, and strong enough to correct them.
• The pessimist complains about the wind. The optimist expects it to change. The leader adjusts the sails.
• A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.
• People don’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care.
