Leaders are made, they are not born. They are made of hard effort, which is the price which all of us must pay to achieve any goal that is worthwhile.
VINCE LOMBARDI
It is by no means enough that an officer of the Navy should be a capable mariner. He must be that, of course, but also a great deal more. He should be as well a gentleman of liberal education, refined manners, punctilious courtesy, and the nicest sense of personal honor. He should be the soul of tact, patience, justice, firmness, kindness, and charity. . . . In one word, every commander should keep constantly before him the great truth, that to be well obeyed, he must be perfectly esteemed.
AUGUSTUS C. BUELL, reflecting on John Paul Jones in 1900, Reef Points, 2003-2004
