Leaders have two characteristics: first they are going somewhere, and second they are able to persuade other people to go with them.

Hope is not strategy. Hope fits with vision, but we must have a strategy and a process to make our vision become a reality.

Circumstances do not make you what you are, they reveal what you are.

Attitude: It is our best friend or our worst enemy.

Talent is a gift, but our character is a choice. Talent is natural ability, our gift from God, but we have the power to determine our character. That power rests on a foundation consisting of the choices we make in life. And those choices almost always dictate the amount of trust others have in us, and to what level of leadership we rise.

Policies are many, Principles are few, Policies will change, Principles never do.

If you can raise up leaders, you will always have followers, but if you can't raise up leaders, you will only have followers.
