“I'm saying that the leaders of the church have locked the sacred cow called science in the stable and they won't let anybody enter; they should open it immediately so that we can milk that cow in the name of humanity and thus find the truth.” ShouldScienceHumanityNamesChurchLeaderAccountsSacredMilkCowsStableLockedScience And ReligionSacred Cows Author:Mehmet Murat Ildan
“Our leading men are not of much account and never have been, but the average of the people is immense, beyond all history. Sometimes I think in all departments, literature and art included, that will be the way our superiority will exhibit itself. We will not have great individuals or great leaders, but a great average bulk, unprecedentedly great.” PeopleThinkingMenWayHas BeensArtSometimesLiteratureIndividualLeaderMassAccountsAverageDepartmentImmenseSuperiorityGreat LeaderExhibitsLiterature And Art Book:Prose Works 1892: Speciman Days Source: Prose Works 1892: Speciman Days
“Stupidity is a factor to be reckoned with in human affairs. The true leader always expects to encounter it, and prepares to endure it patiently so long as it is normal stupidity. He knows that his ideas will be distorted, his orders carelessly executed; and that there will be jealousy among his assistants. He takes these inevitable phenomena into account, and instead of attempting to find men without faults, who are non-existent, he tries to make use of the best men at his disposal - as they are, and not as they ought to be.” KnowsMenTryingHumansLongIdeasUseOrderLeaderOughtNormalAccountsFaultsEndureAffairStupidityFactorsInevitableEncountersAttemptingFind MeAssistantsTrue Leader Author:Andre Maurois
“The role of the opposition leader differs from that of the chancellor. If this government is to be successful, I have to take the emotional state of all partners into account.

“Each of us can be a leader. We need to remember that the mantle of leadership is not the cloak of comfort, but the robe of responsibility. Perhaps our service is to youth. If so, I caution: 'Youth needs fewer critics and more models.' One hundred years from now it will not matter what kind of a car we drove, what kind of a house we lived in, how much we had in the bank account, nor what our clothes looked like. But the world may be a little better because we were important in the life of a boy or a girl.” IfsWorldNeedsYearsKindMayLittlesImportantMatterRememberGirlHouseResponsibilityLeaderBoysCarYouthComfortClothesModelsHundredAccountsCriticsFewerCautionCloaksRobesBank Accounts Author:Thomas S.

“What had the board been doing when they see these things happening. I mean, you can write a law that says you cannot provide incentives for the openings of accounts, but I think it gets to be a deeper issue of the value structure of any organization and the value of its leaders.” ThinkingWritingMeanLawValuesLeaderIssuesHappeningsOrganizationAccountsStructureDeeperThings HappenOpeningBoardsIncentives Author:John Kasich
“I am endlessly fascinated that playing football is considered a training ground for leadership, but raising children isn't. Hey, it made me a better leader: you have to take a lot of people's needs into account; you have to look down the road.

“No government by experts in which the masses do not have the chance to inform the experts as to their needs can be anything but an oligarchy managed in the interest of the few. And the enlightenment must proceed in ways which force the administrative specialists to take account of the needs. The world has suffered more from leaders and authorities than from the masses. The essential need ... is the improvement of the methods and conditions of debate, discussion and persuasion. That is the problem of the public.” WorldWayNeedsProblemGovernmentForceInterestChanceLeaderDemocracyConditionsEssentialsAuthorityMassEnlightenmentAccountsMethodImprovementDebateDiscussionExpertsPersuasionSpecialistsOligarchyAdministrative Book:The Public and Its Problems: An Essay in Political Inquiry Source: The Public and Its Problems: An Essay in Political Inquiry
