I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no "brief candle" to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.

Great leaders don't create followers. Great leaders create leaders.
The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity.

God is looking for those with whom he can do the impossible- What a pity that we plan things we can only do by ourselves.
... A. W. Tozer
Leadership is scarce because few people are willing to go through the discomfort required to lead.
... Seth Godin
The great illusion of leadership is is to think that man can be led out of the desert by someone who has never been there.
... Henri Nouwen
Jesus used stories when he spoke to the people. In fact, he did not tell them anything without using stories.
