"People do not give from the top..." - Quote by John C Maxwell

“Positional leaders ignore the fact that every person has hopes, dreams, desires, and goals of his own. And leaders must bring their vision and the aspirations of the people they lead together in a way that benefits everyone.”

“A good leader encourages followers to tell him what he needs to know, not what he wants to hear.”

“Successful people...focus on the rewards of success: learning from their mistakes and thinking about how they can improve themselves and their situations.”

“I have but one system of ethics for men and for nations - to be grateful, to be faithful to all engagements under all circumstances, to be open and generous, promoting in the long run even the interests of both”

“Through the history of our nation, Americans have always extended their hands in gestures of assistance.”

“I am a generous man, by nature, and far more trusting than I should be. Indeed. The real world is risky territory for people with generosity of spirit. Beware.”

“Life isn't about what you have but what you have to give.”

“There can be no greater gift than that of giving one’s time and energy to help others without expecting anything in return.”

“We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”
