Inspirational Quotes by John C. Maxwell
“ROM3.10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: ROM3.11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.”
“ROM8.35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?”
“MAT22.32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”
“8 There were many lamps in the upper room where they* were gathered together. 9 And in a window sat a certain young man named Eutychus, who was sinking into a deep sleep. He was overcome by sleep; and as Paul continued speaking, he fell down from the third story and was taken up dead. 10 But Paul went down, fell on him, and embracing him said, “Do not trouble yourselves, for his life is in him.” 11 Now when he had come up, had broken bread and eaten, and talked a long while, even till daybreak, he departed. 12 And they brought the young man in alive,”
“I do not think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday,”

“Sin embargo, uno no tiene que ser importante para ser una persona de influencia. Es más, si su vida se vincula de alguna manera con otras personas, usted tiene influencia. Todo lo que hace en el hogar, la iglesia, su trabajo, o en el campo de pelota afecta las vidas de otras personas.”
“there is no future in any job. The future lies in the man who holds the job.”
“A traveler nearing a great city asked an old man seated by the road, “What are the people like in this city?” “What were they like where you came from?” the man asked. “Horrible,” the traveler reported. “Mean, untrustworthy, detestable in all respects.” “Ah,” said the old man, “you will find them the same in the city ahead.” Scarcely had the first traveler gone on his way when another stopped to inquire about the people in the city before him. Again the old man asked about the people in the place the traveler has just left. “They were fine people: honest, industrious, and generous to a fault,” declared the second traveler. “I was sorry to leave.” The old man responded, “That’s exactly how you’ll find the people here.” The way people see others is a reflection of themselves: If I am a trusting person, I will see others as trustworthy. If I am a critical person, I will see others as critical. If I am a caring person, I will see others as compassionate. If you change yourself and become the kind of person you desire to be, you will begin to view others in a whole new light. And that will change the way you interact in all of your relationships. —Winning with People”

“Una de las experiencias más difíciles para cualquier miembro de un equipo es sacar del equipo a otro miembro. Y sin embargo es lo que hay que hacer si alguien rehusa desarrollarse o cambiar para beneficio del grupo. Eso no quiere decir que usted quiera menos a esa persona. Sólo significa que usted no seguirá perdiendo su tiempo invirtiendo en alguien que no puede o no quiere hacer que el equipo sea mejor.”

Si la reputación es como el oro, entonces tener integridad es como ser dueño de la mina. Preocúpese menos por lo que otros piensan y préstele atención a su carácter interno.”
“You are nothing unless it comes from your heart. Passion, caring, really looking to create excellence. If you perform functions only and go to work only to do processes, then you are effectively retired. And it scares me—most people I see, by age twenty-eight are retired.”
“Creative people don’t avoid failure. They see it as a friend. They know that if they are to experiment, innovate, and create, they will fail. They embrace risk.”
