Gosh...really there have been so many great quotes throughout history. If I had to pick a single quote that has the most profound relationship to my life, it would be:
"Chance favors the prepared mind."-- Louis Pasteur
This quote is true on so many levels.
For several great modern quotes on leadership, check out Colin Powell.
Another great one is:
"The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it."
-- Henry Thoreau
And finally...a few others worthy of mention since I found them on my comp.
"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."
-- Aristotle
"Great leaders are almost always great simplifiers, who can cut through argument, debate, and doubt to offer a solution everybody can understand."
-- Colin Powell
"Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help or concluded you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership."
-- Colin Powell
"It is easy enough to be friendly to one's friends. But to befriend the one who regards himself as your enemy is the quintessence of true religion."
-- Mahatma Gandhi
"Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival."
-- C.S. Lewis
