Ultimately, leadership is not about glorious crowning acts. It's about keeping your team focused on a goal and motivated to do their best to achieve it, especially when the stakes are high and the consequences really matter. It is about laying the groundwork for others' success, and then standing back and letting them shine.

Success does not consist in never making mistakes but in never making the same one a second time.

Money and success don't change people; they merely amplify what is already there.

My powers are ordinary. Only my application brings me success.

Let us realize that: the privilege to work is a gift, the power to work is a blessing, the love of work is success!

Failures, repeated failures, are finger posts on the road to achievement. One fails forward toward success.

I know of no single formula for success. But over the years I have observed that some attributes of leadership are universal and are often about finding ways of encouraging people to combine their efforts, their talents, their insights, their enthusiasm and their inspiration to work together.

The first step toward success is taken when you refuse to be a captive of the environment in which you first find yourself.

Perseverance is a great element of success. If you only knock long enough and loud enough at the gate, you are sure to wake up somebody.

For me, money is not my definition of success. Inspiring people is a definition of success.
