When
we allow one group of people to look down upon another, then we may for a short
time bring hardship on some particular group of people, but the real hardship
and the real wrong is done to democracy and to our nation as a whole. We are then
breeding people who cannot live under a democratic form of government but must
be controlled by force. We have but to look out into the world to see how easy
it is to become stultified, to accept without protest wrongs done to others, and
to shift the burden of decision and responsibility for any action onto some vague
thing called a government or some individual called a leader.

“People
ask the difference between a leader and a boss. The leader leads, and the boss
drives.”

“It’s
quite possible to arrive in the year 2030 where people are no longer dying of
poverty. We could actually help lead a global end-not a reduction, but an end-to
absolute poverty…I have always found that a committed, powerful group of leaders,
can make a huge difference.”
-- Jeffrey Sachs

Widespread
intellectual and moral docility may be convenient for leaders in the short term,
but it is suicidal for nations in the long term. One of the criteria for national
leadership should therefore be a talent for understanding, encouraging, and making
constructive use of vigorous criticism.
-- Carl
Sagan |
Leadership
is not so much about technique and methods as it is about opening the heart. Leadership
is about inspiration—of oneself and of others. Great leadership is about human
experiences, not processes. Leadership is not a formula or a program, it is a
human activity that comes from the heart and considers the hearts of others. It
is an attitude, not a routine.
-- Lance Secretan
Leaders are the ones who keep
faith with the past, keep step with the present, and keep the promise to posterity.

Leadership
is not manifested by coercion, even against the resented. Greatness is not manifested
by unlimited pragmatism, which places such a high premium on the end justifying
any means and any measures.
