If you show the way, people will want to follow you. The higher you go, the greater the number of people who will be willing to travel with you.
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
Life is like riding in a taxi. Whether you are going anywhere or not, the meter keeps ticking.
John C. Maxwell
For the person trying to do everything alone, the game really is over. If you want to do something big, you must link up with others. One is too small a number to achieve greatness. That's the Law of Significance.
John C. Maxwell
You can't become a leader in one conference.
John C. Maxwell
