“Rules are a useful guideline and generally should be heeded, but blindly following them eventually and inevitably leads to disaster.”
“Young men are apt to think themselves wise enough, as drunken men are apt to think themselves sober enough.”
“Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men. It is the spirit of men who follow and of the man who leads that gains the victory.”
“It's good advice, but I expect it will be hard to follow; good advice is apt to be, I think.”
“The role of leaders is not to get other people to follow them but to empower others to lead.”
