Here are some short quotes to live by whether you’re managing people, managing (raising!) children, or simply looking for a few self improvement tips. And the last quote is by Stevie Wonder, my favorite musician of all time:

• “People seldom improve when they have no other role model but themselves to copy.”
  –Oliver Goldsmith

• “Leaders are visionaries with a poorly developed sense of fear and no concept of the odds against them. They make the impossible happen.”
  –Dr. Robert Jarvik

• “If…you can’t be a good example, then you’ll just have to be a horrible warning.”
  – Catherine Aird

• “People who never get carried away should be.”
  –Malcolm Forbes

• “The one unchangeable certainty is that nothing is certain or unchangeable.”
  –John F. Kennedy

• “Example is not the main thing in influencing others. It is the only thing.”
  –Albert Schweitzer

• “Just because a man lacks the use of his eyes doesn’t mean he lacks vision.”
  –Stevie Wonder
