What originally led us to serve others by leading them seldom remains our North Star.

One of the best sources of perspective is enemies. If we can learn from them, then we can profit from anyone.

Idealism may get us into the fray, but it is the loss of all we cherish that begins to form in us a heart capable of leading others reluctantly and humbly.

The desire for beauty, the hunger for union, the passion to be part of something greater than self, all arise out of our bent to worship.

Grace. Loss. Fortune. Hardship. Victory. Sometimes the worst seat is best seat in the house and it comes as a result of leading.

The cost for the recipient of God’s grace is nothing, and no price could be higher for arrogant people to pay.

You may obey a leader who has power and authority, but you will not strive to serve her or the cause of the organization unless you respect and care for her in addition to the ones with whom you serve.
