“Humans are social animals. We seek belonging. We feel safer in a tribe than alone. But not all tribes are healthy.”

Time really does remind us the value and importance of human touch.

If you hire people just because they can do a job, they’ll work for your money. But if you hire people who believe what you believe, they’ll work for you with blood and sweat and tears.

We last longer if we compete against ourselves for the good of others instead of competing against others for the good of ourselves.

Leadership is a choice. It is not a rank.

Optimism is the light at the end of a dark tunnel.

Communication is not about speaking what we think. Communication is about ensuring others hear what we mean.

Great leaders are willing to sacrifice the numbers to save the people. Poor leaders sacrifice the people to save the numbers.

The leaders who get the most out of their people are the leaders who care most about their people.

Life is beautiful not because of the things we see or do. Life is beautiful because of the people we meet.

Most people ignore opportunities because they see only danger. Entrepreneurs ignore danger because they see only opportunities.

The hardest part is starting. Once you get that out of the way, you’ll find the rest of the journey much easier.

Listening is not understanding the words of the question asked, listening is understanding why the question was asked in the first place.

We’d achieve more if we chase the dream instead of the competition.

A leader must be inspired by the people before a leader can inspire the people.

Japan is in the process of regaining this animal spirit.

To my mind, the life of a lamb is no less precious than that of a human being.

Sympathy beyond the confines of man, that is, humanity to the lower animals, seems to be one of the latest moral acquisitions.

What I really wanted was to travel and see all the different animals that were on the verge of extinction.

The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.
