The struggle comes when we sense a gap between the clock and the compass - when what we do doesn't contribute to what is most important in our lives.

The great apparent dichotomy is that the more we give, the more we get.

When people have a real sense of legacy, a sense of mattering, a sense of contribution, it seems to tap into the deepest part of their heart and soul. It brings out the best and subordinates the rest.

One of the most important ways to manifest integrity is to be loyal to those who are not present. In doing so, we build the trust of those who are present.

The ability to manage well doesn't make much difference if you're not even in the right jungle.

Our behavior is a function of our decisions, not our conditions.

We are free to choose our actions, . . . but we are not free to choose the consequences of these actions.
