What we…

… do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world, is and remains immortal

– Albert Pine

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?’

– Margaret Thatcher

People are…

… always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can’t find them, make them.

– George Bernard Shaw

I think that…

… the best training a top manager can be engaged in is management by example. I want to make sure there is no discrepancy between what we say and what we do. If you preach accountability and then promote somebody with bad results, it doesn’t work. I personally believe the best training is management by example. Don’t believe what I say. Believe what I do

– Carlos Ghosn

Cautious, careful people…

… always casting about to preserve their reputation and social standing, never can bring about a reform. Those who are really in earnest must be willing to be anything or nothing in the world’s estimation, and publicly and privately, in season and out, avow their sympathy with despised and persecuted ideas and their advocates, and bear the consequences.

– Susan B. Anthony

Pursuing your potential…

… yields far greater rewards than pursuing goals

– Anon

Leadership rests…

… not only upon ability, not only upon capacity; having the capacity to lead is not enough. The leader must be willing to use it. Leadership is then based on truth and character. There must be truth in the purpose and willpower in the character.

– Vince Lombardi

Leadership…

… like swimming, cannot be learned by reading about it.

– Henry Mintzberg

Try….

…not to become a man of success but a man of value.

– Albert Einstein

Study and…

… in general, the pursuit of truth and beauty is the sphere in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives.”

— Albert Einstein
