Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help or concluded you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership.

I claim to be a simple individual liable to err like any other fellow mortal. I own, however, that I have humility enough to confess my errors and to retrace my steps.

No real change in history has ever been achieved by discussion.

It's kind of fun to do the impossible.

Everything comes to him who hustles while he waits.

The whole secret of existence is to have no fear. Never fear what will become of you, depend on no one. Only the moment you reject all help are you freed.

Intervention only works when the people concerned seem to be keen for peace.

Once we accept our limits, we go beyond them.

He who is to be a good ruler must have first been ruled.

Politicians just do an aerial survey of disasters. Genuine leaders carry out relief measures on ground zero.

You will find men who want to be carried on the shoulders of others, who think that the world owes them a living. They don't seem to see that we must all lift together and pull together. 

Get up, stand up, Stand up for your rights. Get up, stand up, Don't give up the fight.
