Often the crowd does not recognize a leader until he has gone, and then they build a monument for him with the stones they threw at him in life.

True greatness, true leadership, is achieved not by reducing men to one's service but in giving oneself in selfless service to them.

If the world is to hear the church's voice today, leaders are needed who are authoritative, spiritual, and sacrificial. Sacrificial, because this trait follows the model of Jesus, who gave Himself for the whole world and who calls us to follow in His steps.

If a man is known by the company he keeps, so also his character is reflected in the books he reads.

The spiritual leader will choose the hidden path of sacrificial service and approval of the Lord over the flamboyant self-advertising of the world.

Most men are notable for one conspicuous virtue or grace - Moses for meekness, Job for patience, John for love. But, in Jesus you find everything.

People of vision gauge decisions on the future; the story of the past cannot be rewritten.
