Quote

A good boss makes his men realize they have more ability than they think they have so that they consistently do better work than they thought they could.

Even though worker capacity and motivation are destroyed when leaders choose power over productivity, it appears that bosses would rather be in control than have the organization work well.

Most powerful is he who has himself in his own power.

The power of one, if fearless and focused, is formidable, but the power of many working together is better.

A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves.

A man's true state of power and riches is to be in himself.

The efficient man is the man who thinks for himself.

He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still.

Every man ultimately falls into the company with which he affiliates. And he is the strongest who draws men to himself, who creates the company; and this is through having a positive quality - courage and physical prowess.

The men who succeed are the efficient few. They are the few who have the ambition and will power to develop themselves.
