The task of leadership is not to put greatness into humanity but to elicit it for the greatness is already there.

A leader is one who out of madness or goodness volunteers to take upon himself the woe of the people. There are few men so foolish hence the erratic quality of leadership in the world.

There's a void of leadership in a lot of Washington. I think one of the reasons why there's so much angst across the country.

Leadership is getting players to believe in you. If you tell a teammate you're ready to play as tough as you're able to you'd better go out there and do it. Players will see right through a phony. And they can tell when you're not giving it all you've got.

You learn far more from negative leadership than from positive leadership. Because you learn how not to do it. And therefore you learn how to do it.

The nicest thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from.

There are three secrets to managing. The first secret is have patience. The second is be patient. And the third most important secret is patience.

Go as far as you can see when you get there you'll be able to see farther.

It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.

There is no force more liberating than the knowledge that you are fighting for others.

These past years as we have been recovering and given our city a rebirth we have been encouraged by our faith knowledge and steadfast belief that we will pull through. There will be challenges and setbacks as there have already been but we will continue and we the citizens of New Orleans will prevail in bringing our city back.

There is no stopping the world's tendency to throw off imposed restraints the religious authority that is based on the ignorance of the many the political authority that is based on the knowledge of the few.

Most people who are selling their mineral rights this is a once-in-a-lifetime transaction. The people who are buying the landmen who are coming in do it every day. So there's a little inequity there about knowledge.

The function of the politician therefore is one of continuous watchfulness and activity and he must have intimate knowledge of details if he would work out grand results.

Throughout the past there has been a lack of intimacy affection and regard for Islam by Christianity. This to a large extent has been due to a lack of knowledge of the great human and spiritual ideals for which Islam and the teachings of Islam stand.

To break boundaries interests me. With all the knowledge that is available now in the world it should be accessible to everyone. You can get so much information on the Internet now and yet there are so many places in the world where people just don't have the education.

I had a traditional interview based on a phone call from an agent. He says there's a show and they would like to see you and its called Dallas. With very little knowledge I go over to this meeting at Warner Brothers.

The most important thing I learned as a foreign correspondent in about 80 countries is that it takes a very shallow knowledge of history to think that there are solutions to most problems.

There can be no proof that Blake's lyric is composed of the best words in the best order only a conviction accepted by our knowledge and judgment that it is so.

A theoretical grounding in agronomy must therefore include knowledge of biological laws.

They taught us because they wanted to pass the knowledge on and educate young musicians. It was not because they had to teach because they failed as musicians. There is a huge difference in the reasons why someone is teaching and what they can offer and what they cannot offer.

There was the best teachers from the Czech Philharmonic highly dedicated people some of the best musicians in the world passing on the knowledge about the country about the principles and about the music.

I had a vision how it should sound and I put all my knowledge into this product and it is a fantastic product. People still tell me that I have the best musical thing there.

A lot of knowledge in any kind of an organization is what we call task knowledge. These are things that people who have been there a long time understand are important but they may not know how to talk about them. It's often called the culture of the organization.
