Discipline reminds the body that it is the servant of the mind

A leader’s first calling is to grow

Leadership is all about maturity

Followers want to change only when they aren’t happy and usually when it doesn’t require much risk or sacrifice on their part

Care: the fruit of an honest community

A leader is always expected to be on duty

Most real learning comes through stories

The problem with today’s formal education is that it ignores the development of character
