More quotes by John C. Maxwell

John C. Maxwell
Big-picture thinkers broaden their outlook by striving to learn from every experience. They don't rest on their successes, they learn from them.
John C. Maxwell
Be willing to absorb some risk and failures to allow people freedom to express themselves.
John C. Maxwell
The more you do, the more you fail. The more you fail, the more you learn. The more you learn, the better you get.
John C. Maxwell
I think once a person realizes that they are every day either sowing into their life either potential success, or sowing into their life potential failure, they would all of a sudden go okay, I've got to figure out what I'm going to do.
John C. Maxwell
The greatest mistake we make is living in constant fear that we will make one.
John C. Maxwell
If people around you don't believe in you, if they don't encourage you, then you need to find some people who do.
John C. Maxwell
