Behind every great achievement is a dreamer of great dreams.

Nothing much happens without a dream. For something really great to happen, it takes a really great dream.

The best leaders are clear. They continually light the way, and in the process, let each person know that what they do makes a difference. The best test as a leader is: Do those served grow as persons; do they become healthier, wiser, freer, more autonomous, more likely themselves to become leaders?

Don't assume, because you are intelligent, able, and well-motivated, that you are open to communication, that you know how to listen.

A statement of vision is the overarching purpose, the big dream, the visionary concept-something presently out of reach-so stated that it excites the imagination and chlalenges people to work for something they do not yet know how to do.

The work exists for the person as much as the person exists for the work.

Love without laughter can be grim and oppressive. Laughter without love can be derisive and venomous. Together they make for greatness of spirit.
