Shipping Quotes

• “Leaders get out in front and stay there by raising the standards by which they judge themselves – and by which they are willing to be judged.” ~Frederick W. Smith
• “What we need to do is always lean into the future; when the world changes around you and when it changes against you – what used to be a tailwind is now a head wind – you have to lean into that and figure out what to do because complaining isn’t a strategy.” ~Jeff Bezos
• “No one would have crossed the ocean if he could have gotten off the ship in the storm.” ~Charles Kettering
• “You will not find it difficult to prove that battles, campaigns, and even wars have been won or lost primarily because of logistics.” ~Dwight D. Eisenhower
