1992 is not a year I shall look back on with undiluted pleasure. In the words of one of my more sympathetic correspondents, it hasturned out to be an Annus Horribilis.

I know of no single formula for success. But over the years I have observed that some attributes of leadership are universal and are often about finding ways of encouraging people to combine their efforts, their talents, their insights, their enthusiasm and their inspiration to work together.

I believe that there is a great fear in our generation of being labeled as priggish.

I should like to be a horse.

Like all the best families, we have our share of eccentricities, of impetuous and wayward youngsters and of family disagreements.

It has perhaps always been the case that the waging of peace is the hardest form of leadership of all.

The events that I have attended to mark my Diamond Jubilee have been a humbling experience. It has touched me deeply to see so many thousands of families, neighbors and friends celebrating together in such a happy atmosphere.
