Find a Quote That Fits

A few years ago I had the chance to attend the Global Leadership Summit.  I still think of and cherish highly the things we discussed and the extensive amount of learning to be experienced.  This year's summit ended recently but I have kept an eye on their online reports and articles.  One that I want to share with you is a page where they listed "The 20 Best Quotes" from the Leadership Summit.  I know all of these may or may not be something you want or need to hear, but in reading them all, I'm thinking you will find one or more that speaks to you.
