When nothing is sure, everything is possible.
~Margaret Drabble
This is my favorite quote. I did see others that I liked, but this one I believe to more me than any other. By not setting boundaries for one’s self, thee impossible can be accomplished.

Thanks for pointing that out. I think McAlindon was quoting Emerson, so I’ve removed his quote and left Emerson’s.

Thomas Jefferson’s leadership quote is a strong reminder about when to be flexible and when to stand strong. To often people are rigid on their style and flexible on their principles–the exact opposite of what he recommends.

Thank you Mark for this list. I grab a few of these every so often to put on the Sergeants white board to inspire.

In this context gender doesn’t matter. A good leadership quote is a good leadership quote.

@Vicki
I can tell you did not learn anything by the quotes listed above – instead of complaining about you, you should change it.
These quotes were uttered by leaders of the past – how about you become a leader of the future and represent what you seem to feel so passionate about.
Any one can do it!

Actually I hadn’t noticed. A woman compiled the list for me of the top leadership quotes we could find–gender wasn’t part of the search process. However, wouldn’t you expect the ratio to be at least similar to the ratio of men to women in high profile leadership positions over the last 100 years? I went back and looked based on your comment and I was surprised at how many were actually by women.

What ratio would you expect?
