Leadership

Your mentors may leave you prepared, but they can't leave you ready.

If you want to take credit, first learn to take responsibility.

Whatever you do with your life, be a builder. Builders are comfortable in the belief that their life's work will one day be bigger than them — bigger than any one person.

The secret of successful politics: Be moved more by what you love than what you hate.

Being ethical does not require a master's degree. It requires having a conscience and following it.

Your reputation is everything. Don't sell it or trade it for anything.

We will all be measured by how much we contribute to the success of the people around us.

Between doubt and destiny is action. Between our community and the American dream is leadership.

As of now, you become the writers of your own epic poem. And the truth is that every student, every class faces a unique set of challenges, and history judges whether they meet the moment.

To graduate at this moment, in this time of prosperity and technological revolution, is an extraordinary gift. But it does come with strings attached.

Don't step on anyone's neck to advance your cause. Never sue anyone, and try not to get sued. You will sleep better at night.

You will not always be the goal scorer. And when you are not, you better be rushing toward her.
