Leadership

Anyone can hold the helm when the sea is calm.

I attribute my success to this — I never gave or took any excuse.

Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.

If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else.

Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest.

The voice of the majority is no proof of justice.

Correction does much, but encouragement does more.

A leader is best when people barely know he exists.

The superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions.

In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity.

A leader is a dealer in hope.

If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.

Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress, and working together is success.

The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

The greatest victory is that which requires no battle.

Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.

Raise your words, not your voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.

United we stand, divided we fall.

There is no greatness where there is no simplicity, goodness and truth.

Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.
