Here is where we post Quotes you/we love and/or were inspired by, so that everyone can enjoy them. We will also post your comments on them.
Here are some starter quotes:

"Sometimes you just have to move on and put that chapter of life in the past. Don't close the book, just turn the page." - It is unknown of who has written this but this still remains my favorite quote. Leadership is not just a skill; it is a way of life. I think this quote ties into leadership nicely because as a leader we should be able to realize that we have control over our lives.
"A leader is a dealer in hope." —Napoleon Bonaparte" leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way." —John Maxwell
"You don’t need a title to be a leader." –Multiple Attributions
I'm aware that some of the people who have said these quotes are males. It is not only women who become leaders but it important that we do so we can take a stand against the stereotype of women cowering behind others.
