“Leadership is based on a spiritual quality; the power to inspire, the power to inspire others to follow.”

The quality of a person’s life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.

Life’s battles don’t always go to the stronger or faster man. But sooner or later, the man who wins is the man who thinks he can.

We didn’t lose the game; we just ran out of time.

It is essential to understand that battles are primarily won in the hearts of men. Men respond to leadership in a most remarkable way and once you have won his heart, he will follow you anywhere.

Football isn’t a contact sport; it’s a collision sport. Dancing is a contact sport.

One must not hesitate to innovate and change with the times. The leader who stands still is not progressing, and he will not remain a leader for long.

They do not truly love who do not show their love.

I firmly believe that any man’s finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle – victorious.

The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary.

Some need a whip and others a pat on the back and others are better off when they are ignored.

The leader can never close the gap between himself and the group.

The good Lord gave you a body that can stand most anything. It’s your mind you have to convince.

One’s desire, not ability, determines success.

Character is the direct result of mental attitude.

Second place is meaningless. You can’t always be first, but you have to believe that you should have been – that you were never beaten – that time just ran out on you.

When you are through trying to improve, you are through.

He wants all or nothing. The thought of a person calling himself a ‘Christian’ without being a devoted follower of Christ is absurd.

When you follow your bliss a kind of track opens up, that’s always been there, waiting for you. And the life that you should be living, is the one that you will be living.

It is easy to find truth, though it is hard to face it, and harder still to follow it.

Laughter, ridicule, opposition, persecution, are often the only reward which Christ’s followers get from the world.

When you follow your bliss, you begin to meet people who are in the field of your bliss, and they open the doors to you.

Follow your bliss. The heroic life is living the individual adventure. There is no security in following the call to adventure. Nothing is exciting if you know what the outcome is going to be.

Making disciples isn’t about gathering pupils to listen to your teaching. The real focus is not on teaching people at all–the focus is on loving them.

The world says love yourself, grab all you can, follow your heart. Jesus says deny yourself, grab your cross and follow me.
