Our business in life is not to get ahead of others, but to get ahead of ourselves.

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

A man who wants to lead the orchestra must turn his back on the crowd.

The very exercise of leadership fosters capacity for it.

Effective leadership is putting first things first. Effective management is discipline, carrying it out.

When the best leader's work is done the people say, 'We did it ourselves.'

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

The quality of a leader is reflected in the standards they set for themselves.

If you want a quality, act as if you already had it.
