“Teaching, if it is to be done well, must be built on vision and commitment; learning, if it is to be meaningful, depends on imagination, risk taking, intention, and invention.”

“Putting yourself at risk...that was the only path to anything meaningful. The biggest risk was in not taking a risk.”

“Every enterprise is a learning and teaching institution. Training and development must be built into it on all levels—training and development that never stop.”

“People play small for lots of reasons, but at the core of them all is fear. Playing small means playing safe—avoiding risk, failure, criticism, and the list goes on. But just imagine how incredibly different the world would be if everyone committed to playing big—taking on audacious goals, trying to make a meaningful difference, being all they could possibly be.”

“...No one teaches well unless he has first learned well; no one learns well unless he learns in order to teach. And both learning and teaching are vain and unprofitable unless accompanied by practice.”

“Outstanding leaders are those who have done so well with meaningful direction.”
