The Greatest Lesson

"The greatest lesson in life is to know that even fools are right sometimes."

- Winston Churchill

An Open Mind

"A mind is like a parachute; it only works when it is open."

- Sir James Dewar

Where?

"If you don't know where you're going, you'll probably end up somewhere else."

- Yogi Berra

Small People

"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great."

- Mark Twain

Hanging In There

"When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on."

- Franklin D. Roosevelt

Surprising Results

"Don't tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and let them surprise you with their results."

- George Patton

Liberty

"Liberty is not the power of doing what we like, but the right of being able to do what we ought."

- Lord Anton

The Entrepreneurial Spirit

The committed person brings an energy, passion, and excitement that cannot be generated if you are only compliant, even genuinely compliant. The committed person doesn't play by the "rules of the game." He is responsible for the game. If the rules of the game stand in the way of achieving the vision, he will find ways to change the rules. A group of people truly committed to a common vision is an awesome force. They can accomplish the seemingly impossible.

- Peter Senge, The Fifth Discipline
