Inspirational Quotes by John C. Maxwell
“Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.”
“My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up. 4. For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.”
“ROM1.9 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;”
“JOH15.5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.”
“ROM8.32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?”
“5. If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.”
“6So Moses gave a commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, “Let neither man nor woman do any more work for the offering of the sanctuary.” And the people were restrained from bringing, 7for the material they had was sufficient for all the work to be done—indeed too †much.”
“ROM5.8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. ROM5.9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.”

“if you do the following three things, you will be successful in major college basketball. If you don’t do them, it will be most difficult.” He didn’t say it would be impossible—typical of John Wooden—but he said it would be difficult. I was scrambling for my pen when he said, “Those three things are fairly simple: Number one, make certain, Dale, you always have better players than anybody you play. Now, with that locked up, make sure you always get the better players to put the team above themselves. And number three—this is very important, Dale Brown,” he said, “don’t try to be some coaching genius, or give the guys too much information, or too much stuff; always practice simplicity with constant repetition.”
“Pocas cosas ayudan a una persona como el ánimo. George M. Adams lo llamó «el oxígeno del alma».”
“THE INSTRUMENT OF LEADERSHIP”
― John C. Maxwell ,
“Dios crea a todos los seres humanos con dones naturales, pero también los fabrica con dos extremos: uno para sentarse y otro para pensar. El éxito en la vida depende de cuál de ellos usamos más, y es como echar suertes con una moneda: ¡La cabeza gana! ¡La cola pierde!”
― John C. Maxwell ,
from Capacitación 101
“Cuando usted alcanza un nivel de motivación que influencia a otros, puede comenzar a ver un impacto positivo en sus vidas.”
“When you give of yourself, it benefits you, the organization, and the receiver.”
“I love the story about the old farmer, ragged and barefooted, who sat on the steps of his tumbledown shack, chewing on a stem of grass. A passerby stopped and asked if he might have a drink of water. Wishing to be sociable, the stranger engaged the farmer in some conversation. “How is your cotton crop this year?” “Ain’t got none,” replied the farmer. “Didn’t you plant any cotton?” asked the passerby. “Nope,” said the farmer, “’fraid of boll weevils.” “Well,” asked the newcomer, “how’s your corn doing?” “Didn’t plant none,” replied the farmer, “’fraid there wasn’t going to be enough rain.” “Well,” asked the inquisitive stranger, “what did you plant?” “Nothing,” said the farmer, “I just played it safe.” A lot of well-intentioned people live by the philosophy of this farmer, and never risk upsetting the apple cart. They would prefer to “play it safe.” These people will never know the thrill of victory, because to win a victory one must risk a failure. C.”
“People must have affirmation and praise in order to maintain a high level of performance. Withholding negative or critical comments is not nearly as important as giving positive input through compliments and praise.”
