Style

Style is knowing who you are, 
what you want to say 
and not giving a damn.

quote by Gore Vidal

To climb steep hills - Shakespeare

To climb steep hills requires a slow pace at first 

quote by William Shakespeare

Daring greatly - Roosevelt

It is not the critic who counts; 

not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, 

or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, 

whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; 

who strives valiantly… 

who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, 

and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly.

quote by Theodore Roosevelt

Character

Leadership is a potent combination of strategy and character. 
But if you must be without one, be without the strategy. 

Quote by Norman Schwarzkopf

Attitude

Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character

quote by Albert Einstein

The tree and the shadow

Character is like a tree,
and reputation is like a shadow.
The shadow is what we think of it;
the tree is the real thing.

Quote by Abraham Lincoln

Questions

Judge a man by his questions, not by his answers.

Voltaire

Prosperous friend

It is in the character of very few men to honour without envy a friend who has prospered.

Aeschylus

Character

If you don’t have enemies, you don’t have character.

Paul Newman
