A clever person solves a problem. A wise person avoids it.

Speak only if it improves upon the silence.

Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

A leader leads by example not by force.

Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

Innovation is the distinction between a leader and a follower.

It's better to be a pirate than to join the Navy.

It's not about money. It's about the people you have, how you're led and how much you get it.
