Leadership doesn't mean giving marching orders that others must follow blindly. Rather, it means causing others to want to follow. Successful leadership is personal.

Simply stated, power is the ability to get things done.

Actually, power is like money; neither good nor bad. Its negative or positive spin depends upon how we use it.

I strongly urge you to consciously consider what success means to you. Instead of allowing others or society to determine when you win, you determine it.

Great leaders make leadership look so easy.

I now see my life, not as a slow shaping of achievment to fit my preconceived purposes, but as the gradual discovery of a purpose which I did not know.

Darkness was my best friend and loneliness my soulmate.

There will never be a point in my life where it is acceptable to waste time.

I do not wish women to have power over men but over themselves.

Steel is not forged in a comfortable place.

A man who causes fear cannot be free from fear.

A field Marshall is born, not made!

Of course I believe in free will. Do we have a choice?

But I'm still a work in progress. My mother calls me quite frequently with various critiques of my performance on TV and other public events. She's usually pretty severe with her comments.

The best thing you've got going for you is individuality.
