The task of a leader is to get his people from where they are to where they have not been. The public does not fully understand the world into which it is going. Leaders must invoke an alchemy of great vision. Those leaders who do not are ultimately judged failures, even though they may be popular at the moment.

The only decent government is government by a body of men and women, but if only one sex must govern, then i should say, let it be women -- put the men out!

And this is the way to educate children: the instinctive way of mothers. There should be no effort made to teach children to think, to have ideas. Only to lift them and urge them into dynamic activity. The voice of dynamic sound, not the words of understanding. Damn understanding. Gestures, and touch, and expression of the face, not theory. Never have ideas about children--and never have ideas for them.
--D.H. Lawrence
The chinese have a story based on three or four thousand years of civilization. Two chinese coolies were arguing heatedly in the midst of a crowd. A stranger expressed surprise that no blows were being struck. His chinese friend replied, "The man who strikes first admits that his ideas have given out."
--Franklin D.Roosevelt
