  1. “If the rate of change on the outside is greater than the rate of change on the inside, the end is near.” – Jack Welch
  2. “One can never truly savor success until first tasting adversity.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
  3. “The most powerful weapon on earth is the human soul on fire” – Ferdinand Foch
  4. “When spider webs unite, they tie up a lion.” – African proverb
  5. “The price of discipline is always less than the pain of regret.” – Nido Qubein
  6. “If you see a snake, just kill it — don’t appoint a committee on snakes.” – Ross Perot
  7. “It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it.” – Warren Buffett
  8. “It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows achievement and who at the worst if he fails at least fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” – Theodore Roosevelt
  9. “I can’t understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I’m frightened of the old ones “ -John Cage
  10. “Man who says it can’t be done should not interrupt man doing it.” – Chinese Proverb
