It is true…

It’s true that charisma can make a person stand out for a moment, but character sets a person apart for a lifetime. – John C Maxwell

Consensus…

Consensus: The process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values, and policies in search of something in which no one believes, but to which no one objects; the process of avoiding the very issues that have to be solved, merely because you cannot get agreement on the way ahead. What great cause would have been fought and won under the banner: ‘I stand for consensus?’

Always do right. It will gratify some people and astonish the rest.

– Mark Twain

Difficulties break some men but make others. No axe is sharp enough to cut the soul of a sinner who keeps on trying, one armed with the hope that he will rise even in the end.

– Nelson Mandela
