“Grace is not part of consciousness; it is the amount of light in our souls, not knowledge nor reason.”
“[Robin Stewart] was your man. True for you, you had withdrawn the crutch from his sight, but still it should have been there in your hand, ready for him. For you are a leader-don't you know it? I don't, surely, need to tell you?-And that is what leadership means. It means fortifying the fainthearted and giving them the two sides of your tongue while you are at it.

It means you can love nothing and no one too much, or you are no longer a leader, you are led.”

Decide whether you want to be liked or admired. Decide if fitting in is more important than finding out what youâ€™re doing here. Believe in kissing.”

As General Petraeus put it during a conversation we had in Afghanistan, 'They all came or stayed, knowing they were going to war.' For more than a decade, these patriots and their loved ones have made extraordinary sacrifices for this country. They embody the classical definition of heroes: those who put themselves at risk for the benefit of others.”

“The [Wal-Mart] corporate culture lagged way behind many other American corporations in terms of making progress on women's issues, and that had a lot to do with being based in northwest Arkansas.”
