Leadership is the other side of the coin of loneliness, and he who is a leader must always act alone. And acting alone, accept everything alone.

A leader does not deserve the name unless he is willing occasionally to stand alone.

But no nation can base its survival and development on luck and prayers alone while its leadership fritters away every available opportunity for success and concrete achievement.

Motivation is the art of getting people to do what you want them to do because they want to do it.

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

Wisdom doesn't necessarily come with age. Sometimes age just shows up all by itself.
