Nike doesn't want to make products for everyone - they want to make products for champions.

Our goals should serve as markers, measurements of the progress we make in pursuit of something greater than ourselves.

If a movement is to have an impact it must belong to those who join it, not those who lead it.

Those who fear the new are the ones who have mastered the old.

The value of our lives is not determined by what we do for ourselves. The value of our lives is determined by what we do for others.

If our leaders are to enjoy the trappings of their position in the hierarchy, then we expect them to offer us protection. The problem is, for many of the overpaid leaders, we know that they took the money and perks and didn’t offer protection to their people. In some cases, they even sacrificed their people to protect or boost their own interests. This is what so viscerally offends us. We only accuse them of greed and excess when we feel they have violated the very definition of what it means to be a leader.
