A revolution is an act of violence whereby one class shatters the authority of another.

The ultimate test of practical leadership is the realization of intended, real change that meets people's enduring needs.

Leaders are not pale reflectors of major social conflicts; they play up some, play down others, ignore still others.

Leadership is one of the most observed and least understood phenomena on earth.

Divorced from ethics, leadership is reduced to management and politics to mere technique.

"Teachers"... treat students neither coercively nor instrumentally but as joint seekers of truth and of mutual actualization. They help students define moral values not by imposing their own moralities on them but by positing situations that pose hard moral choices and then encouraging conflict and debate. They seek to help students rise to higher stages of moral reasoning and hence to higher levels of principled judgment.

Such leadership occurs when one or more persons engage with others in such a way that leaders and followers raise one another to higher levels of motivation and morality.
