“Believe you can and you're halfway there.”

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena.”

“Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.”

“Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.”

“Far better is it to dare mighty things to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered with failure, than to make rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory or defeat.”

“If we are to be really great people, we must strive in good faith to play a great part in the world. We cannot avoid meeting great issues. All that we can determine for ourselves is whether we shall meet them well or ill.”

“Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting, but never hit soft.”

“People ask the difference between a leader and a boss. The leader works in the open, and the boss in covert. The leader leads, and the boss drives.”

“The best executive is the one who has sense enough to pick good men to do what he wants done, and self-restraint enough to keep from meddling with them while they do it.”

“People ask the difference between a leader and a boss. The leader leads, and the boss drives.”

“Character, in the long run, is the decisive factor in the life of an individual and of nations alike.”
