Those people blessed with the most talent don't necessarily outperform everyone else. It's the people with follow-through who excel.

If you think education is expensive, try ignorance

I'm a firm believer in the theory that people only do their best at things they truly enjoy. It is difficult to excel at something you don't enjoy.

The greatest discovery of any generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitude.

Be changed and the world around you begins to change.

Our chief want is someone who will inspire us to be what we know we could be.

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader

Greatness is not in where we stand, but in what direction we are moving. We must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it - but sail we must, and not drift, not lie at anchor.

Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself. When you become a leader, success is all about growing others.

Success means having the courage, the determination, and the will to become the person you believe you were meant to be

The key to successful leadership today is influence, not authority.

What lies behind us and what lies before us are but tiny matters compared to what lies within us

Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other

Nothing in life is worth having that doesn't lie on the other side of a risk

I start with the premise that the function of leadership is to produce more leaders, not more followers.
