The best executive is the one who has sense enough to pick good men to do what he wants done, and self-restraint to keep from meddling with them while they do it.

Theodore Roosevelt

You may only succeed if you desire succeeding; you may only fail if you do not mind failing.

Many of life's failures are experienced by people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.

If you're not failing, you're not pushing your limits, and if you're not pushing your limits, you're not maximizing your potential.

You can't be a great leader if all you are serving is yourself.

If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost. That is where they should be. Now put the foundation under them.

Henry David Thoreau

The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.
