Leadership: the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it.
I destroy my enemy when I make him my friend.
Bombs and pistols do not make a revolution. The sword of revolution is sharpened on the whetting stone of ideas.
You can’t build a reputation on what you are going to do.

It always seems impossible until it’s done.
A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus, but a molder of consensus.

Men are mortal. So are ideas. An idea needs propagation as much as a plant needs watering. Otherwise both will wither and die.
If you must break the law, do it to seize power; in all other cases observe it.
