“Do your best to succeed and push the limits without violating them.”

Whether you like it or not, you will leave a leadership legacy.

The only job security you have today is your commitment to continuous personal improvement.

If you want your people to be responsible, be responsive to their needs.

Your mind and a computer have one thing in common: neither of them know the difference between the truth and what you tell it.

Have I done what is really important today?

Love today. Gone tomorrow. Now you pass each other like strangers on a busy street.

You were so gentle with my messy burdens, my tender wounds and the cracks in my broken soul that I became gentle with them, too.
