Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.

Promise to be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit trouble to press on you.

Being a role model is the most powerful form of educating

We are many, but are we much?

How many of us have conflicts with someone else- and how many of us pray for that person? We have individuals with whom we are competitive, or whom we dislike or have a quarrel with; but very few of us have true enemies in the martial sense. And yet if Lincoln could pray fervently- and contemporary reports indicate he did- for the people who were opposing him, how much more can we do for someone we just find a little irritating?

A player who makes a team great is better than a great player.

In my opinion, being an effective leader requires being an effective listener. The most productive leaders are usually those who are consistently willing to listen and learn.
