Never allow others to put obstacles in the pathway of your dreams
John C. Maxwell
In my leadership conferences, pastors ask, Do you have a vision for my church? Many times they want me to give them a picture of where they should go and what their church should look like. When these pastors do this, I always feel bad.

John C. Maxwell
People may teach what they know, but they reproduce what they are.
John C. Maxwell

John C. Maxwell
As you begin changing your thinking, start immediately to change your behavior. Begin to act the part of the person you would like to become. Take action on your behavior. Too many people want to feel, then take action. This never works.
John C. Maxwell
Life can be boring unless you put some effort into it.
John C. Maxwell
What I find them struggling most isn't with one of the twelve [things from daily list] I find them struggling with what decisions to make.
John C. Maxwell
Why would God send people to our church if we don't have a great dream? Why would God give a multigifted, multitalented, and multifinancially wealthy person to a church if the biggest thing you are going to do is paint the restrooms next year? That's bad stewardship.
John C. Maxwell
Everyone is a leader because everyone influences someone.
John C. Maxwell
If you're a leader, it's important to set aside time to quiet yourself and listen for God's direction.
John C. Maxwell
Even if you've had a negative effect on others in the past, you can turn that around and make your impact a positive one.
John C. Maxwell
Leadership involves the heavy burden of responsibility, and the fear of getting it wrong can paralyze a leader.
John C. Maxwell
