Don’t judge…

Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.

Whether our task…

Whether our task is fighting poverty, stemming the spread of disease or saving innocent lives from mass murder, we have seen that we cannot succeed without the leadership of the strong and the engagement of all.

– Kofi Annan

Sometimes our fate…

resembles a fruit tree in winter. Who would think that those branches would turn green again and blossom, but we hope it, we know it.

– Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Be a yardstick…

… of quality. Some people aren’t used to an environment where excellence is expected.

Too bad…

… that most people stop rowing when they get to the rudder.

One never…

… notices what has been done; one can only see what remains to be done

Leadership..

… cannot be measured in a poll or even in the result of an election. It can only be truly seen with the benefit of time. From the perspective of 20 years, not 20 days

– Marco Rubio

When you…

… make it to the top, turn and reach down for the person behind you

– Abraham Lincoln

Change will…

… not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.

– Barack Obama

The people…

… who are lifting the world onward and upward are those who encourage more than they criticize

– Elizabeth Harrison
