America is a song that sounds the best when we all sing together – at least for a while.
Someone who lies for you will also lie to you. The occasional benefit your business may gain from a successful deception or concealment is always outweighed by the encouragement it provides to those willing to risk trust for success.
Neither the intensity of your feelings nor the certainty of your convictions is any assurance that you are right.
Not everything that is good for you is fun and not everything that is fun is good for you.
One key to success is demanding more than adequacy, never settling for good enough and always doing a little bit more.
Go out there and do your part to change the world. You may not change all you had hoped but the world will be better for the caring demonstrated by your effort.
You are the captain of your own ship; don’t let anyone else take the wheel.
What will matter in the end is not what you bought but what you built; not what you got but what you gave; not what you learned but what you taught. What will matter is not your competence but your character.
Leadership is not a matter of authority, it is a matter of influence. A true leader teaches others to understand more, motivates them to be more and inspires them to become more.
Good intentions are simply not enough. Our character is defined and our lives are determined not by what we want, say or think, but by what we do.
To separate the purpose of a business from the purpose of people who are in the business is, I think, not a good thing.
In life, we all get scored on every day. The wonderful thing is, if we do our best with courage and tenacity, we might be outscored but we can never be beaten.
Physical courage to a person of honour is easier and less risky than acts that could subject him to embarrassment or humiliation or a diminished career or reputation. These things he must live with. To die for honor is an easier thought to bear.
A good coach improves your game. A great coach improves your life.
Sometimes the dues we pay to maintain integrity are pretty high, but the ultimate cost of moral compromise is so much higher.
People who don’t believe in you are right only if you believe they are.
There is within you, waiting to be called, a great source of power called courage. Call its name and it will give you the strength to confront challenges despite fear and to continue and the heart to continue with bold confidence despite the pain of caused by tragedy.
Necessity is not merely the father of invention; it is the father of courage.
At home, be grateful. At work, be appreciative. Gratitude is a gift we give ourselves. Appreciation is a gift we give to others.
I am grateful for all those people who said no. It is because of them that I did it myself. Practice an attitude of gratitude. You can either be miserable dwelling on the troubles you have or grateful for the ones you don’t have. Your troubles don’t care but it makes a huge difference in your life.
