Were not attained by sudden flight,
But they, while their companions slept,
Were toiling upward in the night."

The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race. “
--Calvin Coolidge

--Hal Borland

- I've always found that the speed of the boss is the speed of the team."
--Lee Iacocca
- “The leaders who work most effectively, it seems to me, never say 'I.' And that's not because they have trained themselves not to say 'I.' They don't think 'I.' They think 'we'; they think 'team.' They understand their job to be to make the team function. They accept responsibility and don't sidestep it, but 'we' gets the credit.... This is what creates trust, what enables you to get the task done."
--Peter Drucker
