A true leader should have the power to begin, the eloquence to communicate, the patience to execute and the wisdom to evaluate. Without one, he remains a slave to he who possesses it.

A true leader cares about his people more than they care about themselves. He will be true unto himself and unto his people even if that truth will cost him their support and their love.

If the only way for you to get people to do your bidding is through force or intimidation, you are neither a leader nor a boss: you are an a**hole.

A leader, without wisdom, is dangerous. A wise person, without leadership, is useless. But if they work together, they are unstoppable.

The magnificence of light can only be seen when it strikes an obstacle. Likewise, the magnificence of a leader is in how he deals with problems.
