We are alone, absolutely alone on this chance planet; and amid all the forms of life that surround us, not one, excepting the dog has made an alliance with us.

We cannot avoid growing old; but we can avoid growing cold.

The greatest thing is, at any moment, to be willing to give up who we are in order to become all that we can be.

There may be no single thing more important in our efforts to achieve meaningful work and fulfilling relationships than to learn to practice the art of communication.

Trust grows when people see leaders translate their personal integrity into organizational fidelity. At the heart of fidelity lies truth-telling and promise-keeping.

Leaders who keep promises and followers who respond in kind create an opportunity generate enormous energy around their commitment to serve others.

History can't be left to fend for itself. For when it comes to history and beliefs and values, we turn our future on the lathe of the past.
