The wind is never for the sailor who knows not to what port he is bound.
It is time that we steered by the stars, not by the lights of each passing ship
In a word I was a pioneer, and therefore had to blaze my own trail.
This country will define its times, not be defined by them.
Nobody wants to follow somebody who doesn't know where he's going.
On life's vast ocean diversely we sail. Reasons the card, but passion the gale.
Our job is not to predict the future. Rather, it's to suggest all the possible futures - so that society can make informed decisions about where we want to go.
Once we agree on the future, the present will be much easier. A captain who does not know where he wants to sail, there is no wind on Earth that will bring him there. We have first to decide where we want to go, where we want to sail.
The American President resembles the commander of a ship at sea. He must have a helm to grasp, a course to steer, a port to seek.
I felt like I was trailblazing. And that's what I did.
Leadership is all about taking people on a journey. The challenge is that most of the time, we are asking people to follow us to places we ourselves have never been.
Set your course by the stars, not by the lights of every passing ship.
Building a company is so much like racing a sailboat.
I don't know what my path is yet. I'm just walking on it.
Direction is always on my wish list.
A captain who does not know where he wants to sail, there is no wind on Earth that will bring him there.
I don't know if I would use that word, 'trailblazer.' That implies that this huge crowd followed me, and that certainly is not the case!
There's not a blueprint for me to follow.
We can chart our future clearly and wisely only when we know the path which has led to the present.
One must steer, not talk.
We are where we are, however we got here. What matters is where we go next.
The only safe ship in a storm is leadership.
History is a guide to navigation in perilous times.
Though pleas'd to see the dolphins play, I mind my compass and my way.
