"Men make history and not the other way around. In periods where there is no leadership, society stands still. Progress occurs when courageous, skillful leaders seize the opportunity to change things for the better"

- Harry Truman

"Leaders aren't born, they are made. And they are made just like anything else, through hard work. And that's the price we'll have to pay to achieve that goal, or any goal"

- Vince Lombardi

"At no time in Memphis' history have the doors to opportunity been so wide open, and we are focused on developing quality students who will seize these opportunities"
