Ethics is not about the way things are, it is about the way things ought to be.

There are two sure ways to fail: never get started and quit before you succeed. Many companies promote the language of risk-taking and innovation but are so concerned with short term profit goals that their culture discourages innovation (trying new things) and abandons promising projects too soon. It shouldn't require exceptional moral courage to try new things and stick with them.

Being a father is the most important role I will ever play and if I don't do this well, no other thing I do really matters.

No leader or organization can achieve breakout growth until it treats, "we've always done it this way" as an opportunity to think anew rather than as a reason to stop thinking. Keep in mind, tradition should be a guide, not a jailer.

Gratitude should be felt and experienced sincerely, expressed generously and received graciously.

Beware of people who constantly assert their integrity and honor. People of character don't have to point it out.

The kind of courage that is strengthened or created by concern about what others will think is really a form of fear. Fear of disapproval or dishonor becoming stronger than fear of injury or even death.
