“The challenge of leadership is to be strong, but not rude; be kind, but not weak; be bold, but not bully; be thoughtful, but not lazy; be humble, but not timid; be proud, but not arrogant; have humor, but without folly.”

“To be proud and inaccessible is to be timid and weak.”

“Build me a son, O Lord, who will be strong enough to know when he is weak, and brave enough to face himself when he is afraid, one who will be proud and unbending in honest defeat, and humble and gentle in victory.”

“One of our greatest challenges is to handle Winning without arrogance, being educated without being condescending and having compassion without developing indifference”

“Humans are threatened by anything different, and their response is to fight. They're bullies, picking on the weak, cowering from the strong.”

“When a resolute young fellow steps up to the great bully, the world, and takes him boldly by the beard, he is often surprised to find it comes off in his hand, and that it was only tied on to scare away the timid adventurers.”
