Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it.

You do not lead by hitting people over the head -- that's assault, not leadership.

Always try to associate yourself with and learn as much as you can from those who know more than you do, who do better than you, who see more clearly than you.

Statesmanship is developed in the hard knocks of general experience, private and public.

Leadership consists of nothing but taking responsibility for everything that goes wrong and giving your subordinates credit for everything that goes well.

No easy problems ever come to the President of the United States. If they are easy to solve, someone else has solved them.

Farming looks mighty easy when your plow is a pencil and you're a thousand miles from the corn field.

The supreme quality of leadership is integrity.

The one quality that can be developed by studious reflection and practice is the leadership of men.
