A state is no better than its leader.
A man does not become the leader of a flock through brute strength but through his ability to read situations correctly.
A leader… is like a shepherd. He stays behind the flock, letting the most nimble go out ahead, whereupon the others follow, not realizing that all along they are being directed from behind.
A leader leads and you can’t ask men to risk death if you’re not willing to risk it yourself.
