Whether you stay six weeks, six months or six years, always leave it better than you found it.

Beware of those who seek to take care of you lest your caretakers become your jailers.

The challenge of leadership is to be strong, but not rude; be kind, but not weak; be bold, but not bully; be thoughtful, but not lazy; be humble, but not timid; be proud, but not arrogant; have humor, but without folly.

Some people plant in the spring and leave in the summer. If you're signed up for a season, see it through. You don't have to stay forever, but at least stay until you see it through.

Don't wish it were easier, wish you were better.

There is plenty of time to argue with new ideas later. They key is to take careful notes first and debate second.

Let others lead small lives, but not you. Let others argue over small things, but not you. Let others cry over small hurts, but not you. Let others leave their future in someone else's hands, but not you.
