“Words may inspire but only action creates change.”

Success comes when we wake up every day in that never-ending pursuit of why we do what we do.

Leadership is not about being in charge. Leadership is about taking care of those in your charge.

All organizations start with why, but only the great ones keep their why clear year after year.

Leadership is not a license to do less. Leadership is a responsibility to do more.

When you compete against everyone else, no one wants to help you. But when you compete against yourself, everyone wants to help you.

You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him.

Leadership is a way of thinking, a way of acting and, most importantly, a way of communicating.

What you do is proof of what you believe.

In a society hooked on immediate gratification, it’s hard to remember that each of us is on our own timeline.

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.

Leadership takes work. It takes time and energy. The effects are not always easily measured and they are not always immediate. Leadership is always a commitment to human beings.

Progress is more important than perfection.

We fall in love with someone when they show us, consistently, that they’re willing to put our needs ahead of their own.

If you sell what you do, you’re a vendor. If you sell why you do it, you’re a brand.

As the Zen Buddhist saying goes, how you do anything is how you do everything.

Innovation is not born from the dream, innovation is born from the struggle.

If we define risk as ‘the likelihood of an irreversible negative outcome,’ inaction is the greatest risk of all.

Win through your actions, never through argument.

To have what few have, do what few do.

I saw that all beings are fated to happiness: action is not life, but a way of wasting some force, an enervation. Morality is the weakness of the brain.

Men, when their actions succeed not as they would, are always ready to impute the blame thereof to heaven, so as to excuse their own follies.

Believe me, it is actions that count.

Don’t allow your actions to betray your words!

Common sense is seeing things as they are; and doing things as they ought to be.
