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

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

There is no such thing as a self made spiritual leader. He is able to influence others spiritually only because the Spirit is able to work in and through him to a greater degree than in those he leads.

Faith never knows where it is being led, or it would not be faith. True faith is content to travel under sealed orders.

The man of leadership caliber will work while others waste time, study while others sleep, pray while others play. There will be no place for loose or lazy habits in word or thought, deed or dress. He will observe a soldierly discipline, diet and deportment, so that he may wage a good warfare.

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.

Our problem is not too little time, but making better use of the time we have. Each of us has as much time as anyone else.
