"Every winner has scars."
"There is more power in the open hand than in the clenched fist."
"In handling men, there are three feelings that a man must not possess-fear, dislike and contempt. If he is afraid of men he cannot handle them. Neither can he influence them in his favor if he dislikes or scorns them. He must neither cringe nor sneer. He must have both self-respect and respect for others."
"The man who broods over the past can never master the difficulties of today. Every wise man learn to forget."
"A leader must face danger. He must take the risk and the blame, and the brunt of the storm."
