There are some things…

… you don’t have to know how it works – only that it works. While some people are studying the roots, others are picking the fruit. It just depends on “Dare to be what you ought to be; dare to be what you dream to be; dare to be the finest you can be. The more you dare, the surer you will be of gaining just what you dare!”

– Norman Vincent Peale

Treat a man…

… as he is and he will remain as he is. Treat a man as he can and should be and he will become as he can and should be.

– Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

When power leads….

… man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man’s concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his experience. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses. For art establishes the basic human truths which must serve as the touchstones of our judgement. The artist. . . faithful to his personal vision of reality, becomes the last champion of the individual mind and sensibility against an intrusive society and an offensive state

– John F. Kennedy

Dreaming…

… is the first step to becoming. To dream of the time ahead is to welcome an inner fold of reality we long for but have not yet realized. It is an act not just of hope but of inspiration.

– Paul H. Ray and Sherry Ruth Anderson

A leader….

… has the vision and conviction that a dream can be achieved.
He inspires the power and energy to get it done.

– Ralph Lauren

A leader…

… is a person you will follow to a place you wouldn’t go by yourself.

–  Joel A Barker

If I have…

… seen farther than others, it is because I was standing on the shoulder of giants.

– Isaac Newton

My job is…

… not to be easy on people. My job is to take these great people we have and to push them and make them even better.

– Steve Jobs

As a leader…

… you’re probably not doing a good job unless your employees can do a good impression of you when you’re not around.

– Patrick Lencioni

Leadership is…

… the special quality which enables people to stand up and pull the rest of us over the horizon.

-James L. Fisher
