Here are some favorite quotes I found from... here and there.

In no particular order:


 * A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.


 * Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former. ~ Albert Einstein, 20th century physicist


 * People ask the difference between a leader and a boss. The leader leads, and the boss drives. ~ Theodore Roosevelt


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


 * Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfills the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things.


 * It behooves every man to remember that the work of the critic is of altogether secondary importance, and that, in the end, progress is accomplished by the man who does things. ~ Winston Churchill


 * Patriotism is when love of your own people comes first; nationalism, when hate for people other than your own comes first. ~ Charles de Gaulle


 * I care not what others think of what I do, but I care very much about what I think of what I do! That is character! ~ Theodore Roosevelt


 * Faced with crisis, the man of character falls back on himself. He imposes his own stamp of action, takes responsibility for it, makes it his own. ~ Theodore Roosevelt


 * Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat. ~ Theodore Roosevelt
