To lead the people, walk behind them.

Look over your shoulder now and then to be sure someone's following you.

A leader is one who, out of madness or goodness, volunteers to take upon himself the woe of the people. There are few men so foolish, hence the erratic quality of leadership in the world.

A leader is a dealer in hope.

It is very comforting to believe that leaders who do terrible things are, in fact, mad. That way, all we have to do is make sure we don't put psychotics in high places and we've got the problem solved.

Either lead, follow, or get out of the way.

Only one man in a thousand is a leader of men - the other 999 follow women.

It is an interesting question how far men would retain their relative rank if they were divested of their clothes.
