• We need from every man who aspires to leadership-for himself
  and his company-a determination to undertake a personal
  program of self-development. Nobody is going to order a man
  to develop .... Whether a man lags behind or moves ahead in
  his specialty is a matter of his own personal application. This is something which takes time, work, and sacrifice. Nobody can do
  it for you.

• Make no mistake: Satan’s specialty is psychological warfare. If he can turn us on God (“It’s not fair!”), or turn us on others (“It’s their fault!”), or turn us on ourselves (“I’m so stupid!”), we won’t turn on him. If we keep fighting within ourselves and losing our own inner battles, we’ll never have the strength to stand up and fight our true enemy.
