"A forte always makes a foible...." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“The maker of a sentence launches out into the infinite.”

“There are two laws discreteNot reconciled,Law for man, and law for thing.”

“Success to the strongest, who are always, at last, the wisest and best.”

“Some of the best business and nonprofit CEOs I've worked with over a sixty-five-year consulting career were not stereotypical leaders. They were all over the map in terms of their personalities, attitudes, values, strengths, and weaknesses.”

“In most cases, strengths and weaknesses are two sides of the same coin. A strength in one situation is a weakness in another, yet often the person can't switch gears. It's a very subtle thing to talk about strengths and weaknesses because almost always they're the same thing.”

“The job of a professional manager is not to like people. It is not to change people. It is to put their strengths to work.”

“I've known people who thought that reaching their potential would come from shoring up their weaknesses. But do you know what happens when you spend all your time working on your weaknesses and never developing your strengths? If you work really hard, you might claw your way all the way to mediocrity! But you'll never get beyond it.”

“Offensively, you do what you do best and you do it again and again. Defensively, you attack your opponent's strength.”

“I don't do well with snakes and I can't dance.”
