“We are very proud of our technology leadership in the industry. Our new X-Tour Wedges are an example of how technology combines with human elements -- like the unique touch and great eye of a craftsman like Roger Cleveland and the input of a special golfer like Phil Mickelson -- to create a great product. It's what makes these wedges special and why we think they will become short-game classics.”

“When I looked at who would be the best choice to lead this district, I wanted to make sure that I endorsed a candidate who shared my commitment to the families, schools, and safety of this community. Janet Reilly understands the challenges facing Bay Area families. Janet is smart, committed, and policy oriented -- I trust her to make the thoughtful leadership decisions that will truly move California forward.”

“We are also proud of our scholarship program that has helped many Latino students continue their education right here in northwest Arkansas. To date we have awarded 59 scholarships totaling more than $65,000. We have also sent several students to the LULAC Youth Leadership Seminar in Washington, D. C. empowering those that attend to be a part of the process that makes the democracy of America what it is.”

“Dr. Lott managed significant reductions in state funding over the first four years of his administration without cutting funds to the arts. He secured funding for the construction of the Jefferson Davis Campus (JD) Arena Theatre in Gulfport and the renovation of the college's existing arts facilities. Finally, he implemented a leadership-development program with a strong connection to the arts. All this made him an obvious choice for this award.”

“You encourage, you push and pull. You look out at your colleagues and say, 'Yes, you can.' To bring [performers] past the limitations of their own potential is leadership. All fine leaders conducting from the podium have that. Emotion is what it's all about. Music-making without emotion and passion is nothing. I'm never looking for a perfect performance, I'm looking for an impassioned performance.”

I am a humanist because I think humanity can, with constant moral guidance, create reasonably decent societies. I think that young people who want to understand the world can profit from the works of Plato and Socrates, the behaviour of the three Thomases, Aquinas, More and Jefferson — the austere analyses of Immanuel Kant and the political leadership of Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt. [The World Is My Home (1991)]

“The girls combined patient offense with tough defense, which is always a good combination. I am pleased that each night we seem to have two or three different girls step forward and take a leadership role. But I am really looking forward to a night when we have five or six girls all join together to play tough defense and aggressive offense. That will be super.”

I saw the figure of 178 Billion wasted/stolen from the people of a country by its corrupt and inept government. Surely such a figure could truly transfom and change the entire country; education, health, shooling, entrepreneurial environment... of millions of people, rather than be secreted away as a few more 0000's in global bank accounts for the greeders.We need to Rethink Public service, values, ethics and leadership.

I believe that the best leadership is loud authenticity. That is what the world needs now. We don’t need more plastic, Photoshooped perfection. I don’t want people to look at me and wish they could be me. I want people to look at me and see their own potential. I want people to be more accepting of their own failures, imperfections, and struggles because they watch me accept of my own.

Pick a leader who will make their citizens proud. One who will stir the hearts of the people, so that the sons and daughters of a given nation strive to emulate their leader's greatness. Only then will a nation be truly great, when a leader inspires and produces citizens worthy of becoming future leaders, honorable decision makers and peacemakers. And in these times, a great leader must be extremely brave. Their leadership must be steered only by their conscience, not a bribe.
