The first man gets the oyster, the second man gets the shell.

Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody expects of you. Never excuse yourself.

It is rare to find a business partner who is selfless. If you are lucky it happens once in a lifetime.

Leadership is practiced not so much in words as in attitude and in actions.

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

To succeed in business it is necessary to make others see things as you see them.

Leaders must encourage their organizations to dance to forms of music yet to be heard.

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

Give whatever you are doing and whoever you are with the gift of your attention.
