“To measure a leader, put a tape around his heart, not his head.”

Never underestimate the power of an encouraging word.

You add value to people when you value them.

Your talk talks and your walk talks, but your walk talks louder than your talk talks.

People can open doors for you, but you must walk through.

All good leaders are connectors. They relate well and make people feel confident about themselves and their leader.

Needless to say, you can love people without leading them, but you cannot lead people without loving them.

We cannot become what we need by remaining what we are.

Life is like riding in a taxi. Whether you are going anywhere or not, the meter keeps ticking.

So think long and hard about who you’re spending the most time with, for wherever they are headed, so are you.

Your attitude is either your best friend or your worst enemy, your greatest asset or your greatest liability

Without a vision people and the church become self-centered. People start finding fault with one another and the church self-destructs.

You can’t be a smart cookie if you have a crummy attitude.

Leadership is influence, nothing more, nothing less. How do you gain influence from people? You invest in them. How do you invest in them? It starts with giving them time.

SUCCESS is when I add value to MYSELF. SIGNIFICANCE is when I add value to OTHERS.

Not realizing what you want is a problem of knowledge. Not pursuing what you want is a problem of motivation. Not achieving what you want is a problem of persistence.

Be intentional to add value to every person you meet everyday.

There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature.

Careful those who fight with monsters, that they might become monsters themeselves.

I have always regarded Mr. Bean as a timeless, ageless character, and I would rather he be remembered as a character mostly in his 30s and 40s.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

It’s really fun to put yourself into a character – into shoes you wouldn’t normally be in.

I need to behave in a way that will cause people to take me seriously.

We can’t control our destiny, but we can control who we become.

The foundation stones for a balanced success are honesty, character, integrity, faith, love and loyalty.
