If I have not challenged you to something better, I have doomed you to something worse.

A great leader is someone who first mastered the art of following.

To forget is to render the pages of history as entirely blank, and the lessons of history as never taught.

The beauty of a book is that the opportunity to grow, heal and be refreshed is but a page away.

To fall down is to face the weakness of my humanity, test the mettle of my character, and push the limits of my strength. Therefore, falling down will tell me who I am far more clearly than most things I might learn when I’m standing up.

To forget is to blithely toss aside the hard lessons that were hard won by others before us, thereby needlessly dooming us to endure the hard lessons that are likely to be forgotten by those who will follow us. And it is altogether reasonable that in order to avoid this repetitive trouncing, God graciously granted us memories.

I’ve made a ton of mistakes that never turned into failures because I learned from them before they got that far.

Starting over is opportunity informed by failure, which is opportunity made intelligent.

The greatest lessons I have ever learned happened at the times where I kept my mouth shut and my ears open. The problem is, I have great difficulty keeping those in the right order.
