A leader is a dealer in hope.
Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.
A great leader’s courage to fulfill his vision comes from passion, not position.
Example is not the main thing in influencing others. It is the only thing.
Leadership does not always wear the harness of compromise.
A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves.
Leadership is an action, not a position.
Power isn't control at all--power is strength, and giving that strength to others. A leader isn't someone who forces others to make him stronger; a leader is someone willing to give his strength to others that they may have the strength to stand on their own.
You do not lead by hitting people over the head. That's assault, not leadership.
It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.
Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.
Leadership is lifting a person’s vision to high sights, the raising of a person’s performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations.
Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.

A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves.
I suppose leadership at one time meant muscles; but today it means getting along with people.
Leaders aren’t born, they are made. And they are made just like anything else, through hard work.
Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it.
To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart.
Leadership is a combination of strategy and character. If you must be without one, be without the strategy.
A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.
A leader takes people where they want to go. A great leader takes people where they don't necessarily want to go, but ought to be.
A leader takes people where they want to go. A great leader takes people where they don’t necessarily want to go, but ought to be.
I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the water to create many ripples.
Remember no one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
