The area where we are the greatest is the area in which we inspire, encourage and connect with another human being.

You don't want modesty, you want humility. Humility comes from inside out. It says someone was here before me and I'm here because I've been paid for. I have something to do and I will do that because I'm paying for someone else who has yet to come.

In the 16th century, [Niccolò] Machiavelli - in an attempt to get back in the good graces of the powerful - wrote a slim volume called The Prince.

That's five hundred years ago and it still works, because we allow ourselves to be lead around with holes through our noses.
