Inspirational Quotes by John C. Maxwell
“El hombre más paupérrimo no es el que no tiene ni un céntimo a su nombre. Es el que carece de un sueño... [Es como] una gran nave construida para el poderoso mar pero que intenta navegar en un charco. Carece de un puerto lejano que alcanzar, de un horizonte que se perfile, de un cargamento preciado que llevar. Sus horas son absorbidas por tiranías rutinarias e insignificantes. En nada sorprende que el tal se torne insatisfecho, contencioso y esté «harto». Una de las tragedias más grandes de la vida es la persona con una capacidad de diez por doce, pero con un alma de dos por cuatro.”
“by Dennis P. Kimbro that I came across several years ago: I am your constant companion. I am your greatest helper or your heaviest burden. I will push you onward or drag you down to failure. I am completely at your command. Half the things you do, You might just as well turn over to me, And I will be able to do them quickly and correctly. I am easily managed— You must merely be firm with me. Show me exactly how you want something done, And after a few lessons I will do it automatically. I am the servant of all great people. And alas, of all failures as well. Those who are great, I have made great. Those who are failures, I have made failures. I am not a machine, Though I work with all the precision of a machine, Plus, the intelligence of a human. You may run me for profit, or run me for ruin. It makes no difference to me. Take me, train me, be firm with me, And I will place the world at your feet. Be easy with me, and I will destroy you. Who am I? I am a habit.”
