• Ability may get you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there.
• If you do not have the time to do it right, when will you find the time to do it over?

• Don’t let yesterday take up too much of today.
• Time spent getting even would be better spent trying to get ahead.
• You discipline those under your supervision to correct, to help, to improve—not to punish.
• Consider the rights of others before your own feelings, and the feelings of others before your own rights.
