"A desire to be in charge of our own lives, a need for control, is born in each of us. It is essential to our mental health, and our success, that we take control."
Robert F. Bennett
"A good leader is a person who takes a little more than his share of the blame and a little less than his share of the credit."
John C. Maxwell
"A leader is a dealer in hope."
Napoleon Bonaparte
"A leader leads by example, whether he intends to or not."
Author Unknown
"A leader takes people where they want to go. A great leader takes people where they don't necessarily want to go but ought to be."
Rosalynn Smith Carter
"A nation which has forgotten the quality of courage which in the past has been brought to public life is not as likely to insist upon or regard that quality in its chosen leaders today--and in fact we have forgotten."
Euripides
"A nation which has forgotten the quality of courage which in the past has been brought to public life is not as likely to insist upon or regard that quality in its chosen leaders today--and in fact we have forgotten."
John Fitzgerald Kennedy

Peter F(erdinand) Drucker

Author Unknown
"For aesthetics is the mother of ethics…. Were we to choose our leaders on the basis of their reading experience and not their political programs, there would be much less grief on earth. I believe-not empirically, alas, but only theoretically-that for someone who has read a lot of Dickens to shoot his like in the name of an idea is harder than for someone who has read no Dickens."
Joseph Brodsky
"Good leaders make people feel that they're at the very heart of things, not at the periphery. Everyone feels that he or she makes a difference to the success of the organization. When that happens people feel centered and that gives their work meaning."
Warren G. Bennis
"Good leaders must first become good servants."
Robert Greenleaf
"I am personally convinced that one person can be a change catalyst, a 'transformer' in any situation, any organization. Such an individual is yeast that can leaven an entire loaf. It requires vision, initiative, patience, respect, persistence, courage, and faith to be a transforming leader."
Stephen R. Covey
"I believe God is managing affairs and that He doesn't need any advice from me. With God in charge, I believe everything will work out for the best in the end. So what is there to worry about."
Henry Ford
"I must follow the people. Am I not their leader?"
Benjamin "Dizzy" Disraeli
"I start with the premise that the function of leadership is to produce more leaders, not more followers."
Ralph Nader
"I suppose that leadership at one time meant muscle; but today it means getting along with people."
Indira Gandhi
"I'm not a natural leader. I'm too intellectual; I'm too abstract; I think too much."
Newt Gingrich
"If an individual wants to be a leader and isn't controversial, that means he never stood for anything."
Richard Milhouse Nixon
"If two or three persons should come with a high spiritual aim and with great powers, the world would fall into their hands like a ripe peach."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
