You can’t please everyone, but if you have to, please those who benefit you the most.
You are no greater than what you do for the least of those beneath you.
Titles give you authority; character gives you power.
You are remembered for what you give, not for what you take―as well as for what you build, not for what you destroy.
Intelligence helps you build companies; wisdom helps you build empires.
In thoughts, you must be wise; in speech, you must be cautious; in sentiment, you must be positive; and in actions, you must be prudent.
If you use fear to command your subordinates, they will fight for you; if you use love, they will die for you.
To be a good leader, win minds; to be a great leader, win hearts; and to be an extraordinary leader, win souls.
