People buy into the leader before they buy into the vision.

You have to have your heart in the business and the business in your heart.

Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected.

Leaders must be close enough to relate to others, but far enough ahead to motivate them.

Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality.

The great leaders have always stage-managed their effects.

A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves.

If you think you can do a thing or think you can't do a thing, you're right.

The real leader has no need to lead - he is content to point the way.

Millions saw the apple fall, but Newton was the one who asked why.
