Leadership is the ability to help people and organizations surpass themselves.

Leadership always benefits the greater good.

Leadership is about movement and growth.

Good leaders make heroes of others.

The test of leadership is, is anything or anyone better because of you?

Better is the most important step to becoming your best. If you want to be your best, you need to start by getting better. Start doing better. Good, better, best. That's how it works.

Don't confuse activity with action.

The early and the latter part of human life are the best, or, at least, the most worthy of respect; the one as the age of innocence, the other of reason.

I have a mustard seed; and I am not afraid to use it.

Don’t win loyalty, just obedience, and only while the lash is in the room.
