It is easier to move from failure to success in from excuses to success.

What you give to help others, builds them up enough that they are able to give to others. It's a cycle that can continue on long after you're dead and gone.

The unexamined leader is not worth following.

Pastors need to find their place in the community of believers by spending time with God.

You have to live with the people to know their needs, and you have to live with God to know how to solve them.

If you are a leader, you should never forget that everyone needs encouragement. And everyone who receives it - young or old, successful or less-than-successful, unknown or famous - is changed by it.

Leaders don't rise to the pinnacle of success without developing the right set of attitudes and habits; they make every day a masterpiece.
