How wonderful…

How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment to improve the world.

– Anne Frank

The best way…

The best way for us to perhaps influence others is to instead focus on ourselves by doing our best – then others will be influenced from our leadership by example.

– Lisa Kardos

You see…

You see things; and you say, “Why?” But I dream things that never were; and I say “Why not?”

– George Bernard Shaw

Rely on your own….

Rely on your own strength of body and soul. Take for your star self-reliance, faith, honesty and industry. Don’t take too much advice — keep at the helm and steer your own ship, and remember that the great art of commanding is to take a fair share of the work. Fire above the mark you intend to hit. Energy, invincible determination with the right motive, are the levers that move the world.

– Noah Porter

The greatest leader…

The greatest leader is not necessarily the person who does the greatest things. He is the one who gets the people to do the greatest things.

– Ronald Reagan

If people knew…

If people knew how hard I worked to gain my mastery, it wouldn’t seem so wonderful after all

– Michelangelo

Never mistake…

Never mistake knowledge for wisdom. One helps you make a living; the other helps you make a life.

– Sandra Carey

When everything…

When everything seems to be going against you, remember that an airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.

– Henry Ford

I’ve missed…

I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. Twenty-six times I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed

– Michael Jordan

Misfortunes….

Misfortunes, untoward events, lay open, disclose the skill of a general, while success conceals his weakness, his weak points.

– Horace
