Leadership Quotes  
(For Homeroom)
 


                           

"Criticism is futile because it puts a person on the defensive and usually makes him strive to justify himself. Criticism is dangerous, because it wounds a person's precious pride, hurts his sense of importance, and arouses resentment." 
- Dale Carnegie (author)

"If there is one secret to success, it lies in the ability to get the other person's point of view and see things from that person's angle as well as from your own."
- Henry Ford (founder, Ford Motor Co.)

"No person was ever honored for what he received. Honor has been the reward for what he gave."
- Calvin Coolidge (thirtieth U.S. President)

"The measure of success is not whether you have a tough problem to deal with, but whether it is the same problem you had last year."
- John Foster Dulles (former Secretary of State)

"Character is power; it makes friends, draws patronage and support and opens the way to wealth, honor and happiness."
- John Howe (English Puritan Clergyman)
