“We are watching industries crumble, Wall Street firms disappear, unemployment spike, and unprecedented government intervention.

“It is not just that it is profoundly offensive to the leaders and people of a democratic Germany to paint Hitler on the wall (or on the remnants of the Wall). It is also consummately counterproductive. Such sauce does not make the meat of substantive criticism more interesting. It means that the whole dish is pushed away. It does not mean that Britain's voice is listened to more attentively in the councils of Europe. It means that it is listened to even less.” PeopleMeanDoeWholeVoiceInterestingLeaderWallEuropeCriticismDemocraticPaintMeatGermanyBritainDishesOffensiveCouncilSauceRemnantsCounterproductivePushed Away Author:Timothy Garton Ash

“Belief in oneself is a crucial quality of leadership, because 'a house divided against itself cannot stand.' A leader who fluctuates back and forth sends a very wavery signal.

“People assume Wall Street is a certain culture and tech is a certain culture. But if you look at the (gender) numbers at the top of (those) industries, they don't vary very much.

“A good leader does not tell people to stand behind him. That position does not give anybody power but the leader. Today's politician isn't going to be the first marching to war, so why put that guy in front? Instead, a good leader tells people to stand beside him. That creates an invincible wall of people, and that's a force where everybody stands as a true equal.” PeopleGivingFirstsDoeWarTodayGuyForceBehindsLeaderFrontsPositionWallPoliticianEqualThat GuyInvincibleGood Leader Author:Suzy Kassem
“There are forces more powerful and pervasive than the apparatus of war. You may chain a man, but you cannot chain his mind. You may enslave him, but you will not conquer his spirit. In every decade since the war Soviet leaders have been reminded that their pitiless ideology only survives because it is maintained by force. But the day will come when the anger and frustration of the people is so great that force cannot contain it. Then the edifice cracks; the mortar crumbles; one day, liberty will dawn on the other side of the wall.” PeopleMenMindMayHas BeensWarSpiritForceSidesPowerfulLibertyLeaderWallOne DayDecadesIdeologyChainsConquerDawnFrustrationCracksSovietEdificeMortarAnger And Frustration Author:Margaret Thatcher
