Never overestimate the strength of the torchbearer's arm, for even the strongest arms grow weary.

A good leader must have the wisdom to know when a pursuit is no longer worthy of being pursued - a time when the losses of the present must be accepted - and cut - to preserve the gains and providence of the future.

If you plan for failure, then you are expecting to fail. If you plan for success, you’ll be successful. Once you start making a ‘Plan B’, you distract from ‘Plan A’, and the moment you start believing there are other options, you start settling for less.

Being a leader is not about finding ways to get others to serve you, but knowing how to serve your followers.
