“ Those who vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything. ”

“ 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. ”

“ Lead from the back — and let others believe they are in front. ”

“ A leader is best, When people barely know he exists, Of a good leader, who talks little, When his work is done, his aim fulfilled, They will say, “We did this ourselves.” ”

“ The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. ”
