Because everything we say and do is the length and shadow of our own souls, our influence is determined by the quality of our being.

I'm always aware that there are, broadly speaking, two different ways to act: there is acting, and then there's being, and I'm always more interested in that.

Being a leader for me is about having the courage to speak the truth, and live the truth, despite attempts to silence our thoughts, feelings, and past experiences.

Not everyone can see the truth, but he can be it.
