“I cannot give you……

……. a formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure- which is: try to please everybody.”

– Herbert Bayard Swope

“Leadership is …..

…. an action, not a position.”

– Donald McGannon

…… the main thing in influencing others. It is the only thing.”

“A man always….

…… has two reasons for doing anything: a good reason and the real reason.”

– J P Morgan

“The key to every man….

……. is his thought. Sturdy and defying though he look, he has a helm which he obeys, which is the idea after which all his facts are classified. He can only be reformed by showing him a new idea which commands his own.”

– Ralph Waldo Emerson

“A leader is…..

…… a dealer in hope.”

– Napoleon Bonaparte

“Leadership …..

….. and learning are indispensable to each other.”

“The challenge of leadership…..

…… is to be strong, but not rude; be kind, but not weak; be bold, but not bully; be thoughtful, but not lazy; be humble, but not timid; be proud, but not arrogant; have humour, but without folly.”

– Jim Rohn

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

“I have three precious things…..

…. which I hold fast and prize. The first is gentleness; the second is frugality; the third is humility, which keeps me from putting myself before others. Be gentle and you can be bold; be frugal and you can be liberal; avoid putting yourself before others and you can become a leader among men.”

– Lao Tzu
