Words of
Ancient Wisdom

The Leader

"A leader is best when people barely know he exists, not so good when people obey and acclaim him, worse when people despise him."

"Fail to honor people, and they will fail to honor you."

"But, when a good leader, who talks little, has done his work, fulfilled his aim. . . . They will all say . . 'We did it ourselves.' "
