Democracy is self-creating coherence.

Unity, not uniformity, must be our aim. We attain unity only through variety. Differences must be integrated, not annihilated, not absorbed.

That is always our problem, not how to get control of people, but how all together we can get control of a situation.

Leadership is not defined by the exercise of power but by the capacity to increase the sense of power among those led. The most essential work of the leader is to create more leaders.

Management is the art of getting things done through people.

the best leaders try to train their followers themselves to become leaders. ... they wish to be leaders of leaders.

Part of the task of the leader is to make others participate in his leadership. The best leader knows how to make his followers actually feel power themselves, not merely acknowledge his power.

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

In crowds we have unison, in groups harmony. We want the single voice but not the single note; that is the secret of the group.

We must face life as it is and understand that diversity is its most essential feature.

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.

Like war, love - all kinds of love - is for men who can take it. If they dare.

You are like a city on the hill

When you are positive you are the enabling force of possibility.

War is good for absolutely nothing, because no matter how far and wide apart we may live, we're all the same under the skin. We all want to live, laugh and love.

I'm a deep thinker when it comes to shallow no brainers.

Yes, I see that you are behaving like a prince but that doesn't mean you won't behave like a devil at the first opportunity.

I refuse to feel guilty. I feel guilty about too much in my life but not about money. I went through periods when I had nothing, so somebody in my family has to get stinkin' wealthy.

There is something inherently inappropriate about cherishing small ambitions for God.

No good friends, no bad friends; only people you want, need to be with. People who build their houses in your heart.

Betrayal of any kind is hard, but betrayal by one's religion is excruciating. It makes you want to rage and weep.
