Richard BransonBeware of charisma . . . Representative Men; was Ralph Waldo Emerson's 1850 phrase for the great men in a democracy . . . Is there some common quality among these Representative Men who have been most successful as our leaders?

Beware of systems of spirituality which tell you to empty yourself. You will end up filled with something you probably do not want.

It will be harder to avoid them.
