“I do honestly and sincerely believe in the necessity or desirability of Hindu-Muslim unity. I am also fully prepared to trust the Muslim leaders. But what about the injunctions of the Koran and Hadis? The leaders cannot over-ride them. Are we then doomed? I hope not. I hope your learned mind and wise head will find some way out of this difficulty.” WayMindBelieveLeaderWiseDifficultyUnityPreparedHonestlyDoomedSincerelyDesirability Author:Lala Lajpat Rai
“I'm really glad that our young people missed the Depression and missed the great big war. But I do regret that they missed the leaders that I knew, leaders who told us when things were tough and that we'd have to sacrifice, and that these difficulties might last awhile. They didn't tell us things were hard for us because we were different, or isolated, or special interests. They brought us together and they gave us a sense of national purpose.” PeopleDifferentWarHardBigsMightTogetherLastsYoungPurposeInterestLeaderSacrificeSpecialRegretToughDifficultyGladIsolatedSpecial Interests Author:Ann Richards
“Courage is defined as: the ability to face danger, difficulty, uncertainty, or pain without being overcome by fear or being deflected from a chosen course of action.

“People - Catholics and non-Catholics - are amazingly open to begin again in their walk with Jesus and in the Church when they hear clarity and honesty. What they don't put up with, thank God, is dishonesty and cover-up. And so I speak as openly as I possibly can about the difficulties of the Church because we shouldn't be afraid to call out an abuse of the wonderful gift God gives to us of the Church. When we - its members and its leaders - are imperfect we need to change. We need to begin again. That begins with honesty.” PeopleNeedsGivingJesusSpeakChurchWalksLeaderWonderfulHonestyMembersAbuseDifficultyCatholicClarityThank GodImperfectDishonestyNeed A ChangeCover UpsBegin Again Author:Jonathan Morris
“You don't achieve anything by stopping at the first sign of difficulty. If we'd stopped after Dieppe in World War II, where would we be right now as a nation? If we'd stopped before Vimy Ridge, we wouldn't have been a nation at all. Yes, you've got to know when to say "stop" as a leader, you sure do, but you've also got to know when to push for the final thing that's going to give you the full benefit.” IfsKnowsWorldGivingFirstsHas BeensWarNationsLeaderAchieveRight NowBenefitsDifficultyFinalsWar Of The WorldsWorld War IiWorld War IStoppingRidges Author:Rick Hillier
“There is a difficulty with only one person changing. People call that person a great saint or a great mystic or a great leader, and they say, 'Well, he's different from me - I could never do it.' What's wrong with most people is that they have this block - they feel they could never make a difference, and therefore, they never face the possibility, because it is too disturbing, too frightening.” PeopleFeelsWellsPersonsDifferentFacesDifferencesLeaderPossibilityDifficultySaintBlockMaking A DifferenceFrighteningDisturbingGreat LeaderMystic Author:David Bohm

“I am persuaded that a leader is not made in one life. He has to be born for it. For the difficulty is not in organisation and making plans; the test, the real test, of the leader, lies in holding widely different people together along the line of their common sympathies. And this can only be done unconsciously, never by trying.” PeopleTryingMadeDifferentRealDoneTogetherLyingBornLinesCommonLeaderPlansTestsDifficultyDifferent PeoplesOrganisation Book:The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda Source: The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda
“Much of the present difficulty in industrial relations arises from the fact that too many employers as well as too many legislators take the Labor Leader more seriously than he deserves to be taken, while taking the ordinary, everyday, middle-of-the-road wage-earner less seriously than he deserves to be taken.” WellsFactsLeadershipLeaderTakenMiddleOrdinaryDeserveLaborDifficultyRelationEverydayAriseEmployersLegislatorsMiddle Of The Road Author:Whiting Williams
“The tragic reality is that there have been occasions when [Mormon] Church leaders, teachers, and writers have not told the truth they knew about difficulties of the Mormon past, but have offered to the Saints instead a mixture of platitudes, half-truths, omissions, and plausible denials.” Has BeensRealityPastChurchHalfLeaderTeacherDifficultySaintOccasionsDenialTragicMixturesPlausibleOmissionHalf TruthPlatitudesChurch Leaders Author:D.
