Richard Feynman -
The mere leader of fashion has no genuine claim to supremacy; at least, no abiding assurance of it.

Hal Moore -
If you make a mistake, don’t spend precious time and energy trying to deny it or point the finger at someone else. Be a leader and own it, then spend your time and energy fixing the problem. As I’ve already noted, start-ups often fail because founders want to be seen as the smartest person in the room, which means not being wrong. Making a mistake is going to happen. None of us is perfect. But the difference between success and failure is how you handle that mistake.
Ziad K. Abdelnour -

At the same time, we've got to focus on creating a society that recognizes our worth, regardless of race and other factors.
Michael Eric Dyson -
One leader, one people, signifies one master and millions of slaves.
