A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him. The secret of all victory lies in the organization of the non-obvious. Good government is no substitute for self-government. Leaders who refuse to listen eventually end up being surrounded by those who have nothing to say. There is a transcendent power in example. We reform others unconsciously when we walk uprightly. The greater a man's talents, the greater his power to lead astray. Before you give up hope, turn back and read the attacks that were made on Lincoln. You can preach a better sermon with your life than with your lips. Win through your actions, never through argument. We do not lead others into the Light by stepping into the darkness with them.
