- Gentlemen, we will chase perfection, and we will chase it relentlessly, knowing all the while we can never attain it. But along the way, we shall catch excellence. –Vince Lombardi (By @CoachMotto)

- A good leader gets people to follow him because they want to, not because he makes them. –Tony Dungy (By @CoachMotto)
- Complaining is NOT a strategy. Be thoughtful. Be intentional. Be solution oriented. Be positive. That’s how we’ll move forward! (By @mradamwelcome)
