Inspirational Quotes by John C. Maxwell

Your dedication to potential mus remain stronger than your desire to appease others.”

“People don’t care what you know until they know you care.”
“If what you did 5 years ago still greatly excites you, you probably aren't growing.”
“VISION IS THE LIGHT THAT KEEPS YOU HEADED DOWN THE RIGHT PATH WHEN ALL THE WORLD AROUND YOU IS DARK.”
“Learning to pause and ask questions turns experience into insight.”
