Leadership is about getting yourself to take action.

Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.

Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.

Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

A good objective of leadership is to help those who are doing poorly to do well and to help those who are doing well to do even better.

We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people.

If a man empties his purse into his head, no man can take it away from him. An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.

Before a man can accomplish anything of an enduring nature in the world, he must first of all acquire some measure of success in the management of his own mind.

In a word, each man is questioned by life; and he can only answer to life by answering for his own life; to life he can only respond by being responsible.

I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies; for the hardest victory is the victory over self.

The world will ask you who you are, and if you don't know, the world will tell you.

Know yourself. Don't accept your dog's admiration as conclusive evidence that you are wonderful.
