Do not…
Do not judge me by my success; judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again.
– Nelson Mandela
Hold yourself…
Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody else expects of you. Never excuse yourself. Never pity yourself. Be a hard master to yourself-and be lenient to everybody else.
– Henry Ward Beecher
When…
When we listen and celebrate what is both common and different, we become a wiser, more inclusive and better organisation.
– Pat Wadors

Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.

Don’t aim…
Don’t aim at success. The more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side effect of one’s personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one’s surrender to a person other than oneself. Happiness must happen, and the same holds for success: you have to let it happen by not caring about it. I want you to listen to what your conscience commands you to do and go on to carry it out to the best of your knowledge.

If…
If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing well.
If it is worth having, it is worth waiting for.

If it is worth experiencing, it is worth putting aside time for.
– Oscar Wilde
Leadership…
Leadership cannot just go along to get along. Leadership must meet the moral challenge of the day
– Jesse Jackson
There comes…
There comes a point where one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but we must do it because our conscience tells us it is right
– MLK
A true leader…
A true leader has the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make tough decisions and the compassion to listen to the needs of others. He does not set out to be a leader, but becomes one by the equality of his actions and the integrity of his intent.
– Douglas MacArthur
