Everyone in a successful organization must be willing and ready to risk. Risk is like change; it's not a choice.

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

Above all, leadership is a position of servanthood.

In most vital organizations, there is a common bond of interdependence, mutual interest, interlocking contributions, and simple joy.

We can choose to see life as a series of trials and tribulations, or we can choose to see life as an accumulation of treasures.

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.

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.
