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

Great companies in the way they work, start with great leaders.

High expectations are the key to everything.

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

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

It is, after all, the responsibility of the expert to operate the familiar and that of the leader to transcend it.

The task of the leader is to get his people from where they are to where they have not been.

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

The very exercise of leadership fosters capacity for it.

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