The insight to see possible new paths, the courage to try them, the judgment to measure results - these are the qualities of a leader.

The best leader does not ask people to serve him, but the common end. The best leader has not followers, but men and women working with him.

Coercive power is the curse of the universe, coactive power, the enrichment and advancement of every human soul.

The state accumulates moral power only through the spiritual activity of their citizens.

Democracy is not brute numbers; it is a genuine union of true individuals...the essence of democracy is creating. The technique of democracy is group organization.
