The best minds are not in government. If any were, business would steal them away.
Ronald Reagan
Vote for the man who promises least; he'll be the least disappointing.
Bernard Baruch
A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.
John C. Maxwell
Fellow citizens, we cannot escape history. We, of this Congress and this administration, will be remembered in spite of ourselves. No personal significance, or insignificance, can spare one or another of us. The fiery trial through which we pass will light us down in honor or dishonor, to the latest generation.
Abraham Lincoln
I hope to stand firm enough to not go backward, and yet not go forward fast enough to wreck the country's cause.
The greater the power, the more dangerous the abuse.
Edmund Burke
The function of leadership is to produce more leaders, not more followers.
Ralph Nader
Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.
Peter Drucker
The people will save their government, if the government itself will allow them.
Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the Earth.
Everything rises and falls on leadership.
Inability to make decisions is one of the principal reasons executives fail. Deficiency in decision-making ranks much higher than lack of specific knowledge or technical know-how as an indicator of leadership failure.
Those of us who submitted or surrendered our ideas and dreams and identities to the 'leaders' must take back our rights, our identities, our responsibilities.
Maya Angelou
Most people don't like change. They revolt against it unless they can clearly see the advantage it brings. For that reason, when good leaders prepare to take action or make changes, they take people through a process to get them ready for it.
I have no fear that the result of our experiment will be that men may be trusted to govern themselves without a master.
Thomas Jefferson
Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity.
George S. Patton
As a leader, the first person I need to lead is me. The first person that I should try to change is me.
Do I not destroy my enemies when I make them my friends?
People ask the difference between a leader and a boss. The leader leads, and the boss drives.
Theodore Roosevelt
Rank does not confer privilege or give power. It imposes responsibility.
