Men shrink less from offending one who inspires love than one who inspires fear.

The first thing a great person does, is make us realize the insignificance of circumstance.

He is the richest man who enriches his country most; in whom the people feel richest and proudest; who gives himself with his money; who opens the doors of opportunity widest to those about him; who is ears to the deaf; eyes to the blind, and feet to the lame. Such a man makes every acre of land in his community worth more, and makes richer every man who lives near him.

Time and money spent in helping men to do more for themselves is far better than mere giving.

The well being of the people is the supreme law.

Those that rule must hear and be deaf, must see and be blind.

You can lead a horticulture but you can't make her think.

'Tis a dainty thing to command, though 'twere but a flock of sheep.

Leadership has to do with direction. Management has to do with the speed, coordination and logistics in going in that direction. The WORKERS are chopping their way through the jungle. The MANAGERS are coordinating, making sure the tools are sharp, etc. The LEADERS climb a tree and shout Wrong jungle!! The MANAGERS shout back Be quiet! We're making progress!

The real leader has no need to lead -- he is content to point the way.
