Success is…

… a journey, not a destination. It requires constant effort, vigilance and reevaluation

— Mark Twain 

 

I have never….

….met a man so ignorant that I could not learn something from him

– Galileo

You can do…

…what I cannot do. I can do what you cannot do. Together we can do great things

– Mother Teresa

The most important….

… thing about a team of people is that they get on well together, that the people who are leading them genuinely care about people, that they look for the best in their people, that they praise, very rarely criticise and you actually run your company like a real family

– Richard Branson

Our lives…

… begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter

– Martin Luther King

There is always…

… much to be said for not attempting more than you can do and for making a certainty of what you try. But this principle, like many others in life has it exceptions.

– Winston Churchill

If I am…

…not for myself, who will be for me? If I am not for others, what am I? And if not now, when?

– Rabbi Hillel

One day…

…. Alice came to a fork in the road and saw a Cheshire cat in a tree. Which road do I take? she asked. Where do you want to go? was his response. I don’t know, Alice answered. Then, said the cat, it doesn’t matter.

– Lewis Carroll

Contrary to…

… popular opinion, leadership is not a reserved position for a particular group of people who were elected or appointed, ordained or enthroned. Leadership is self-made, self-retained, self-inculcated and then exposed through a faithful, sincere and exemplary life.

– Israelmore Avivor

Leaders are not…

… as we are often led to think, people who go along with huge crowds following them. Leaders are people who go their own way without caring, or even looking to see, whether anyone is following them. “Leadership qualities” are not the qualities that enable people to attract followers, but those that enable them to do without them. They include, at the very least, courage, endurance, patience, humor, flexibility, resourcefulness, stubbornness, a keen sense of reality, and the ability to keep a cool and clear head, even when things are going badly. True leaders, in short, do not make people into followers, but into other leaders.
