    Heyo folks,

    We live in an age where quotable quotes get quoted all the time. To the point of saturation with the likes of social media. As a result of said saturation, we tend to get a whole lot of nothing. So with that said, what are some quotes that hold real heft and substance to you? Quotes that you feel enhance your training, or quotes that inspire your training?

    Keep it to a maximum of three because I know a lot of us have more than three here.

    “To the mind that is still, the universe surrenders.” – Laozi

    “Put away the wine and stop the music, and the mind suddenly feels as though it has suffered a loss; it is upset as though it has been bereft of something. What makes this happen? Using externals to amuse the internal, instead of using the internal in such a way as to make the external pleasant.” – excerpt from The Book of Leadership and Strategy

    “Face death, embrace acceptance.”

    The quote I most like, and is included in the signature block of all my emails, is:

    “Leadership is not measured by how many followers you have, but how many leaders you create.” ~unknown author.
