“Great leaders passed away, politicians made their way.”

“Away with the hypocritical horror on the part of capitalist, labor leader, and politician.”

“Consider this argument another wedge served from the malodorous pie known as "My way is Right," the dessert of choice for politicians, religious leaders, and warring pastry chefs.”

“It is asked whether, in fact, the leader makes propaganda, or whether propaganda makes the leader. There is a widespread impression that a good press agent can puff up a nobody into a great man. The answer is the same as that made to the old query as to whether the newspaper makes public opinion or whether public opinion makes the newspaper. There has to be fertile ground for the leader and the idea to fall on. But the leader also has to have some vital seed to sow. To use another figure, a mutual need has to exist before either can become positively effective. Propaganda is of no use to the politician unless he has something to say which the public, consciously or unconsciously, wants to hear.”

“Some people talk of Africa being a continent cursed not blessed with minerals, but the real curse is the leaders and politicians of Africa”

“A leader is heard, a great leader is listened too.”
