‘Anyone can come up with a vision. The hard part is the holding.’

‘Keep seeing in your mind’s eye where it is you’re going, even when nobody else does. Especially when nobody else does.’

‘Give people something good to live up to- something great- and they usually will.’

‘You can lead only as far as you grow. And you will grow only as far as you let yourself.’

‘What you have to give, you offer least of all through what you say; in greater part through what you do; but in greatest part through who you are.’

‘Don’t get it backwards: don’t start thinking you’re the big deal.’

‘Great leadership is never about the leader.’

‘Great leadership is about holding people up.’

‘The best way to increase your influence is to give it away.’

‘Character is what happens when life scratches itself onto your soul.’

‘Stay grounded.’
