We are the creative force of our life and through our own decisions rather than our conditions if we carefully learn to do certain things we can accomplish those goals.

The things that have been most valuable to me I did not learn in school.

Leaders of the future will have to be visionary and be able to bring people in - real communicators. These are things that women bring to leadership and executive positions and it's going to be incredibly valuable and incredibly in demand.

Sport fosters many things that are good teamwork and leadership.

I don't agree with all-male leaderships. Men cannot be left to run things on their own. I think it's a thoroughly bad thing to have a men-only leadership.

One of the things about leadership is that you've got to show up. And if you want to be president of the United States you've got to make a case to the American people that Barack Obama needs to be dismissed from his position.

In terms of having views and being prepared to express them yes I think New Zealand's had a leadership role in a lot of things.

Obama is thoroughly mixed up with all these things he's got. He's got to solve Libya. He's got to solve Afghanistan. He's everywhere. And this nation I don't know why it's not showing the leadership and capacity to attend different issues at the same time.

I have never been afraid to stand up to the leadership on issues where we disagree. If you chose to keep Cambridge Labour then I can continue to press the Government for the things that matter to you in a way that members of the opposition are unable to.

The things journalists should pay attention to are the issues the political leadership agrees on rather than to their supposed antagonisms.

The more consistent a father can be or a mentor can be in the person's life and teach them principles of real solid manhood character integrity and leadership the more consistent you can be in the person's life and teach them those things at a younger age and then the better off they'll be.

Leadership is among other things the ability to inflict pain and get away with it - short-term pain for long-term gain.

Obstacles are things a person sees when he takes his eyes off his goal.

Effective leadership is putting first things first. Effective management is discipline carrying it out.

Management is doing things right leadership is doing the right things.

It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.

Belief and knowledge are considered to be two different things. But they are not.

For the things of this world cannot be made known without a knowledge of mathematics.

Humans may or may not have cosmic significance and if they do it will be by hitching a ride on the objective centrality of knowledge in the cosmic scheme of things.

It's hard for women to talk about these things and for the doctors to really talk about it too and to even have the knowledge of what's going on. That's why I'm doing this and urging women to speak out and talk to their doctors frankly.

What I look for when I see a piece of art for the first time is some kind of emotional intellectual experience that's a combination of both of those things and is informed by my knowledge and something new that I see the artist doing.

When time and space and change converge we find place. We arrive in Place when we resolve things. Place is peace of mind and understanding. Place is knowledge of self. Place is resolution.

A lot of knowledge in any kind of an organization is what we call task knowledge. These are things that people who have been there a long time understand are important but they may not know how to talk about them. It's often called the culture of the organization.

I think education is one of the greatest tools for most kids not only to expand their book knowledge but their ability to experience new things - I think it opens more doors than any other experience I can think of.
