The goal toward…

.. which all history tends is peace, not peace through the medium of war, not peace through a process of universal intimidation, not peace through a program of mutual impoverishment, not peace by any means that leaves the world too weak or too frightened to go on fighting, but peace pure and simple based on that will to peace which has animated the overwhelming majority of mankind through countless ages. This will to peace does not arise out of a cowardly desire to preserve one’s life and property, but out of conviction that the fullest development of the highest powers of men can be achieved only in a world of peace.

– Robert Maynard Hutchins

Leadership…

… is about taking responsibility, not making excuses

– Mitt Romney

Giving people…

… self confidence is by far the most important thing that I can do because then they will act.

– Jack Welch

To excel…

… means to reach beyond the best you have ever given because doing so matters to you personally, for its own sake. It means to run your own race—as an individual, team, or organization. To excel is to know your greatest strengths and passions, and to emphasize them while honestly admitting and managing your weaknesses.

– Robert Cooper

If you…

… are not criticised, you may not be doing much

– Donald Rumsfeld

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

My responsibility….

… is getting all my players playing for the name on the front of the jersey, not the one on the back

A real leader…

… faces the music even when he doesn’t like the tune.

– Arnold H. Glassgow

High sentiments….

… always win in the end, The leaders who offer blood, toil, tears and sweat always get more out of their followers than those who offer safety and a good time. When it comes to the pinch, human beings are heroic.

– George Orwell

The goal…

…. of many leaders is to get people to think more highly of the leader. The goal of a great leader is to help people to think more highly of themselves.
