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

My attitude is never to be satisfied, never enough, never.

Time is neutral and does not change things. With courage and initiative, leaders change things.

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

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

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.

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

If you think you can do a thing or think you can't do a thing, you're right.

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

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