"A lack of realism in the vision..." - Quote by John C Maxwell

“Seek people who seek solutions.”

“You cannot overestimate the unimportance of practically everything.”

“Personnel determines the potential of the team. Vision determines the direction of the team. Work ethic determines the preparation of the team. Leadership determines the success of the team.”

“We fail, not because of big problems, but because of small purposes.”

“One of the greatest values of mentors is the ability to see ahead what others cannot see and to help them navigate a course to their destination.”

“Of several bodies, all equally large and equally distant, that which is most brightly illuminated will appear to the eye nearest and largest.”

“We over-exaggerate yesterday. We either think it was better or worse than it was - you know, the good old days. We over-estimate tomorrow; we think we can do more than we can - always. And that's why we put off everything till tomorrow.”

“Never make heads straight on the shoulders, but turn them aside to the right or to the left, even though they look down, or upward, or straight ahead, because it is necessary for them to look lively and awake and not asleep. And do not depict the front or rear half of the whole person so that too much straightness is displaced, one half above or below the other half; and if you should wish to use stiff figures, do so only in portraying old people.”

“The purpose of foreign policy is not to provide an outlet for our own sentiments of hope or indignation; it is to shape real events in a real world.”
