"To remain a credible leader, I must..." - Quote by John C Maxwell

“The best way a mentor can prepare another leader is to expose him or her to other great people.”

“The trials and pressures of life--and how we face them--often define us. Confronted by adversity, many people give up while others rise up. How do those who succeed do it? They persevere. They find the benefit to them personally that comes from any trial. And they recognize that the best thing about adversity is coming out on the other side of it. There is a sweetness to overcoming your troubles and finding something good in the process, however small it may be. Giving up when adversity threatens can make a person bitter. Persevering through adversity makes one better.”

“Our attitude at the beginning of a task will affect its outcome more than anything else.”

“True democracy is not inconsistent with a few persons representing the spirit, the hope and the aspirations of those whom they claim to represent.”

“We need laws written by people who have confronted life in the real world, not in the sheltered world of trust fund recipients of the insulated cocoon of academia.”

“No institution can possibly survive if it needs geniuses or supermen to manage it. It must be organized in such a way as to be able to get along under a leadership composed of average human beings.”

“The best reformers the world has ever seen are those who commence on themselves.”

“First one must change. I first watch myself, check myself, then expect changes from others.”

“The demands that good people make are upon themselves; Those that bad people make are upon others.”
