  • She had listened to nothing, but mothers hear certain things without listening. -- Victor Hugo
  • Sooner or later we all quote our mothers. -- Bern Williams
  • The heart of a Mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you always find forgiveness. -- Honore de Balzac

Dinah Maria Mulock Craik was one of the most successful women poets and novelists of the 19th century. She published her first work, “The Ogilvies,” in 1849 to critical acclaim, and soon garnered comparison to such influential writers as George Eliot. “The Ogilvies,” in which this quote appears, follows the romantic entanglements and subsequent marriages of three cousins (a popular 19th-century literary convention, as Jane Austen proved decades earlier). Craik’s words offer a timeless truism about love’s cyclical nature — that the care and compassion we give others, we’ll receive in kind. 





French writer and aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, author of the classic 1943 novel “The Little Prince,” wrote often on themes of love, suffering, and connection. Saint-Exupéry himself was known for his long, complex marriage to writer and artist Consuelo de Saint-Exupéry, who inspired the character of the Rose in “The Little Prince.” In the book, the Prince and the Rose eventually realize that while they do love each other, they show it in different ways. With this line, Saint-Exupéry reminds us that true love should always feel nourishing.

Love is a Leadership Principle
https://youtu.be/UDZvSA4zjAM
Lead With Love = So many people don’t know what love is. In Greek, there are words for 4 different types of love—romantic love, brotherly love, and the love between a parent and child. The 4th word for love—the type that represents a leadership principle—is Agape. This type of love is a verb, how you behave, not how you feel. Love is patient, kind, trusting, truthful, forgiving, unselfish, and it is dedicated to love in all circumstances. If you want to be a better servant leader, lead with love.


Do You Love Unconditionally? | MWM
Love Unconditionally = No matter what happens in life, having someone who will listen to you and love you, is unconditional love. Unconditional love is having someone you can go to and say anything to, and they will always love you. Nothing can replace unconditional love. 
Do You Love Unconditionally? = When you love unconditionally, the impact and influence can be tremendous. When you love, and are loved unconditionally, no matter what you say or do, you will always be loved. Nothing can replace unconditional love.

https://youtu.be/NhsPugEolhg
There Is Value In Loving People = John shares with us that we need to love people, indicating that all of his previous lessons from his father are products of loving people. By adding value to people, traveling the high road, and encouraging others—all of these lessons are rooted in loving people.

https://youtu.be/I0A9WXMvx7g
See the best in others.



https://youtu.be/W6PF7qr5QRU

The Highest Compliment = Love others as you love yourself. There is so much power behind the word love, use it generously and wisely. 

It's Always About Others = When you stop loving your people, you have essentially concluded your ability to effectively lead them. While it is important to lead with authenticity, so your people believe in you, it is far more important for you to believe in your people. Your leadership depends on it. Without it, you might as well quit.
