“You can’t improve on saying nothing.”

I’m a slave to this leaf in a diary that lists what I must do, what I must say, every half hour.

A leader who doesn’t hesitate before he sends his nation into battle is not fit to be a leader.

If only political leaders would allow themselves to feel, as well as to think, the world might be a happier place.

It’s no accident many accuse me of conducting public affairs with my heart instead of my head. Well, what if I do?.. Those who don’t know how to weep with their whole heart don’t know how to laugh either.

Habits are like the atoms of our lives. Each one is a fundamental unit that contributes to your overall improvement.

The best way to improve mental performance, is to improve physical performance

Small daily improvements over time lead to stunning results.

True long-term thinking is goal-less thinking. It’s not about any single accomplishment. It is about the cycle of endless refinement and continuous improvement.

If you want better results, then forget about setting goals. Focus on your system instead.

I’d rather spend money on things that improve the customer experience than on marketing.
