in fear of losing it.
Confucius
The more I read, the more I acquire, the more certain I am that I know nothing.

risk failure.
John W. Gardner
Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you will never cease to grow.

title or position.
Brian Tracy

trumpet.

help those who are doing well to do even better.

Barack Obama
Success isn’t about how much money you make; it’s about the difference you make in

Time is neutral and does not change things. With courage and initiative, leaders
change things.

Norman Schwarzkopf
A leader who doesn't hesitate before he sends his nation into battle is not fit to be a
leader.

going to get respect from the players.

Chester W. Nimitz
A good leader takes a little more than his share of the blame, a little less than his
share of the credit.

on life and things.
Benjamin B. Warfield

within.

at its destination full of hope.
Maya Angelou
If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day, so I never
have to live without you.
Winnie the Pooh
Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don’t know how to replenish its
source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it
dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.
Anaïs Nin
You know it’s love when all you want is that person to be happy, even if you’re not
part of their happiness.
Julia Roberts

only more love.
