Leadership
Quotes
<< Prev
A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves
One leader, one people, signifies one master and millions of slaves
A leader is a dealer in hope
I suppose leadership at one time meant muscles; but today it means getting along with people
The led must not be compelled, they must be able to choose their own leader
He who is to be a good ruler must have first been ruled
The man who occupies the first place seldom plays the principal part
He who dreads hostility too much is unfit to rule
Wearing the white flower of a blameless life,
Before a thousand peering littlenesses,
In that fierce light which beats upon a throne,
And blackens every blot.
Before a thousand peering littlenesses,
In that fierce light which beats upon a throne,
And blackens every blot.
