“A leader takes people where they want to go. A great leader takes people where they don't necessarily want to go, but ought to be.”

“You must accept that you might fail; then, if you do your best and still don't win, at least you can be satisfied that you've tried.”

“If you doubt you can accomplish something, then you can't accomplish it. You have to have confidence in your ability, and then be tough enough to follow through.”

“A leader takes people where they would never go on their own.”

“You cannot know where your people are going if you don't know where your people have been.”

“Leaders are people who know exactly who they are. They know exactly where they want to go. They’re hell-bent on getting there.”

“Politics is a matter of leading other people. Admittedly not where they want to go, but where they ought to go.”
