In business, what distinguishes leaders from laggards and greatness from mediocrity is the ability to uniquely imagine what could be.

Efforts to reform are often met with resistance because the system always tries to fall back to the status quo and what is comfortable.

Creators start at the end. First they have an idea of what they want to create. Sometimes this is idea is general, and sometimes it is specific. Before you can create what you want you want to create, you must know what you are after, what you want to bring into being.

The human spirit will not invest itself in a compromise.

Dreamers only dream, but creators bring their dreams into reality.

Creating is no problem - problem solving is not creating.

Creators understand that their emotions are not necessarily a sign of the circumstances. They understand that in desperate circumstances they may experience joy, and in jubilant circumstances they may feel regret. They know that any emotion will change. But because emotions are not the centerpiece of their lives, they do not pander to them. They create what they create, not in reaction to their emotions but independent of them. On days filled with the depths of despair, they can create. On days filled with the heights of joy, they can create.
