Leadership cannot really be taught. It can only be learned.

The amount of good luck coming your way depends on your willingness to act.

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

The employer generally gets the employees he deserves.

Luck is a dividend of sweat. The more you sweat, the luckier you get.

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

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

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.

Today a reader, tomorrow a leader.
