The two that I try to live by from the Canadian Forces Principles of Leadership:
  Lead by example.
  Know your subordinates and promote their welfare

I find these to be the 2 most important traits of any leader in any line of work.

And another personal fav of mine is that if you can't laugh or find humour, then there is no sense in living.

I was passing by a little church building where they were having a meeting.  I heard the preacher say this and I was so impressed by the truth of it.  He said:
"De big-word man can understan' big words and small words.  De small-word man can only understan' small words.  So use small words, and both de big-word man and de small-word man will understan' "

From my father during one of our many, many trips back and forth to the University of Iowa Hospital following my 2nd transplant:

Don't walk around with your chin dragging on the ground.  There are many people in your life who will ask you how you're doing.  You know who your true friends are.  If you want, share your feelings with them but for everyone else, just put a smile on your face and tell them you're doing just fine.  You'll earn a lot more respect for your good attitude than if you regale any and everyone with all of your woes. 

Most people ask how you're doing out of politeness or because it's become a habit (Hey, how you  doin'?) and don't really expect an answer.
