Hermann Hesse on leadership

Oh, love isn’t there to make us happy. I believe it exists to show us how much we can endure.

Love does not entreat; or demand. Love must have the strength to become certain within itself. Then it ceases merely to be attracted and begins to attract.

If I know what love is, it is because of you.

Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.

George S. Patton1885–1945Often credited to Thomas Paine

The task of the leader is to get his people from where they are to where they have not been.

Henry Kissinger1923–2023

Being a leader is like being a lady, if you have to go around telling people you are one, you aren’t.

Margaret Thatcher1925–2013
