Lead, don't drive. And give credit. Don't blame. If an officer on your team suggested something and it worked well, give them credit. If it doesn't work well, you take the blame because you made the decision.

It's important to keep trying to do what you think is right no matter how hard it is or how often you fail. Never stop trying

I worry that business leaders are more interested in material gain than they are in having the patience to build up a strong organization, and a strong organization starts with caring for their people.

In life, worthwhile accomplishments and acquisitions take time. Usually the better the reward, the more time it takes to acquire it.

Without organization and leadership toward a realistic goal, there is no chance of realizing more than a small percentage of your potential.

Never lie, never cheat, never steal.

Respect a man, and he will do all the more.
