My leadership will end the Obama era and begin a new era of American prosperity.
We've lost the wow of God because we've lost the woe of God. His perfect holiness helps us truly appreciate His amazing grace.
A half-century after racing the Russians to the moon, the U. S. is barely suiting up in the international race to secure interests in the Arctic.
God allows us to feel pain for a reason: to protect us.
Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.
I know it is said repeatedly that I was in support of the American invasion in Iraq. It is simply not true. I was in favor of helping the Iraqis, and most specifically Ahmad Chelebi and the Kurdish leadership to set up an independent government of free Iraq. I think that would have been the right thing to do.
Humility is the cornerstone of leadership.
It's not always easy to do the right thing. But, doing the right thing makes you strong, it builds character, it forces you to make decisions based upon your beliefs and not what other people think. In life, and in business, you have to stand for what you believe in and sometimes you have to stand alone. But, what makes you a leader is having the courage of your convictions.
We have the best leaders and the most depth of leadership we've ever had. If I get hit by a truck, maybe it would get me out of the way and it would go better.
A man cannot govern a nation if he cannot govern a city; he cannot govern a city if he cannot govern a family; he cannot govern a family unless he can govern himself; and he cannot govern himself unless his passions are subject to reason
We must act as if our institutions are ours to create, our learning is ours to define, our leadership we seek is ours to become.
Our greatest individual challenge in life is self-discipline. The self-discipline of a healthy diet, daily exercise, controlling our thoughts, selflessly serving others, and living a life of integrity.
Measuring programming progress by lines of code is like measuring aircraft building progress by weight.
I don't think leaders are born. Well, they're born; everybody's born, but I think leadership can be enhanced, they can be developed, and I think that it's important we do that, particularly with our youngsters.
Employee engagement is an investment we make for the privilege of staying in business.
The leader has a clear idea of what he wants to do professionally and personally, and the strength to persist in the face of setbacks, even failures
Humans are ambitious and rational and proud. And we don't fall in line with people who don't respect us and who we don't believe have our best interests at heart. We are willing to follow leaders, but only to the extent that we believe they call on our best, not our worst.
Influence is getting others to do what you want them to do because they want to do it - a take on Eisenhower's famous leadership statement
I think there are a lot of opportunities in the Americas that matter deeply to 45 million Latinos in this country, and I would hope to be able to work to maybe elevate the profile of the Americas in our discussion about American global leadership.
These observations tie in directly with the whole question of organizing. Why do we have leaders? We put some people out in the fields and all of a sudden they hit, they click. Everyone's happy with them and they begin to move mountains. With other people there are problems and heartaches. They just don't go. When we look and see what's happening, almost invariably the differences are along the lines of willingness to sacrifice and work long hours.
