 Every human has four endowments- self awareness, conscience, independent will and creative imagination. These give us the ultimate human freedom... The power to choose, to respond, to change. |
| We are not human beings on a spiritual journey. We are spiritual beings on a human journey. |
| The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing. |
| We are not animals. We are not a product of what has happened to us in our past. We have the power of choice. |
| A cardinal principle of Total Quality escapes too many managers: you cannot continuously improve interdependent systems and processes until you progressively perfect interdependent, interpersonal relationships. |
| Management is efficiency in climbing the ladder of success; leadership determines whether the ladder is leaning against the right wall. |
| In the last analysis, what we are communicates far more eloquently than anything we say or do. |
| Public behavior is merely private character writ large. |
| Effective leadership is putting first things first. Effective management is discipline, carrying it out. |
| Live out of your imagination, not your history. |
| There are three constants in life... change, choice and principles. |
| We are the creative force of our life, and through our own decisions rather than our conditions, if we carefully learn to do certain things, we can accomplish those goals. |
| Our character is basically a composite of our habits. Because they are consistent, often unconcious patterns, they constantly, daily, express our character. |
| The key is not to prioritize what's on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities. |
| It's a fact that more people watch television and get their information that way than read books. I find new technology and new ways of communication very exciting and would like to do more in this field. |
