Leadership is like exercise. Do it everyday, the results take time but you will see them. It's the little things.

Because a true sense of purpose is deeply emotional, it serves as a compass to guide us to act in a way completely consistent with our values and beliefs. Purpose does not need to involve calculations or numbers. Purpose is about the quality of life. Purpose is human, not economic.

Progress is more important than perfection.

We call them leaders because they go first, because they take the risk before anybody else does, because they will choose to sacrifice so their people will be safe and protected.

Pure pragmatism can't imagine a bold future. Pure idealism can't get anything done. It is the delicate blend of both that drives innovation.

I was never a writer.

Greatness is not born from one success. Greatness is born from persevering through the countless failed attempts that preceded.
