“Reasons are the spoils of victory. When you've destroyed the enemy, then your leaders write down the reasons in books, and give moving speeches about them. If you've done your job, then there aren't any of the enemy left to dispute your leader's reasons. At least not until the next war.”
“You've got to take it on faith that the enemy of your enemy is your friend.”
“Paranoia seems more reasonable when you've got twelve stitches in your side.”
“The worst thing in your own development as a leader is not to do it wrong. It’s to do it for the wrong reasons.”
“...because when you've had a good enough Teacher, you're all your own Leaders.”
“A leader whose speech is prepared by others is not a leader; he is just an empty and stupid bottle! Use your own ideas and your own brain; write your own speech, just like Gandhi, Churchill or Nehru! That is indeed a good ethics and a good honour!”
