The Leadership Poem Collection
There is no chance, no destiny, no fate Can circumvent, or hinder, or control The firm resolve of a determined soul. Gift counts for little; Will alone is great All things give way before it, soon or late. What obstacle can stay the mighty force Of the sea-seeking river in its course, Or cause the ascending orb of day to wait? Each well-born soul must win what it deserves, Let the fool prate of Luck! The fortunate Is he whose earnest purpose never swerves, Whose slightest action or inaction serves The one great aim. Why, even death stands still And waits, an hour, sometimes, for such a Will! - Ella Wheeler Wilcox

True Grit - Leadership Poem The eye that never blanches, The thought that never wanders, - These are the masters of Victory. - Edmund Burke
Opportunities Where You Stand - Leadership Poem One day, one night, one morning, or one noon, One freighted hour, one moment opportune, One rift through which sublime fulfillments gleam, One space when fate goes tiding with the stream, One Once, in balance twixt Too Late, Too Soon, And ready for the passing instant’s boon To tip in favor the uncertain beam. Ah, happy he who, knowing how to wait, Knows also how to watch and work and stand On Life’s broad deck alert, and at the prow To seize the passing moment, big with fate, From opportunity’s extended hand, When the great clock of destiny strikes Now! - Mary A. Townsend
A Soldier’s Epitaph - Leadership Poem - Unknown
Steer Thoughts to Prevent a Wreck - Leadership Poem Or good or bad, and know it not – Yet so the universe is wrought. Thought is another name for fate, Choose, then, thy destiny, and wait – For love brings love, and hate brings hate. - Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Choosing Happiness - Leadership Poem I am singing my song. - Unknown It will make your heart seem lighter. Life’s a mirror; If we smile, Smiles come back to greet us; If we’re frowning all the while Frowns forever meet us. - Unknown
Press On – Focused Resolve for Results - Leadership Poem Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not: unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.

The slogan "press on" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race. - Calvin Coolidge, U.S. President
Gratitude and Thanks Giving - Leadership Poem To do the necessary task that was allotted me. Resentment of the vivid glow, I started to complain - When all at once upon the air I heard the blind man's cane. - Unknown
Starting Over - Leadership Poem Another year to live! To banish worry, doubt and fear, To love and laugh and give! To live each day with zest. To daily grow and try to be My highest and my best! Once more to right some wrongs, To pray for peace, to plant a tree, And sing more joyful songs! - William Arthur Ward
The Optimist’s Creed - Leadership Poem To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet. To make all your friends feel that there is something in them. To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. To think only of the best, to work only for the best and expect only the best. To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile. To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble. Promise yourself these things. - Christian Larson
