Today a reader, tomorrow a leader.

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

The secret of my success is a two word answer: Know people.

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

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.

He who is prudent and lies in wait for an enemy who is not, will be victorious.

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

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.

A good leader takes a little more than his share of the blame, a little less than his share of the credit.

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