"The true rewards of leadership come from striving to look up to a higher moral standard..Good leaders sometimes, in fact, quite often, lose in the material world. They go right ahead anyway, knowing that they are going to lose. Are they tilting at windmills? Do they have a 'can't do' attitude instead of a 'can-do' attitude? Of course not. They are committed to defending the right values. And the right values are seldom safe, easy, or advantageous."- H. Norman Schwarzkopf

"We tend to make courage too dramatic. Courage is often doing something simple, unpleasant, or boring again and again until we get it down pat. People who are physically challenged and who have the determination to get around their handicaps are great examples because their courage makes them test their limits every day."
- Dave Thomas (1932 - 2002)
