Leadership is not a matter of authority, it is a matter of influence. A true leader teaches others to understand more, motivates them to be more and inspires them to become more.

There is no objective criteria for either success or failure. People who achieve their goals are successful, those who don't are not.

When you compete with someone as good or better than you, you may not always win, but you never lose.

An ounce of action is worth a ton of good intentions.

Good character is the single most important attribute of a successful and worthy life.

If you pay too much attention to your reputation, you could lose your character.

Character is not only doing the right thing when no one is looking, it's doing the right thing when everyone is looking. It's being willing to do the right thing even when it costs more than you want to pay.
