Elizabeth I of England on leadership

Though God hath raised me high, yet this I count the glory of my Crown, that I have reigned with your loves.

Let tyrants fear, I have always so behaved myself that, under God, I have placed my chiefest strength and safeguard in the loyal hearts and good-will of my subjects.

There is no jewel, be it of never so rich a price, which I set before this jewel: I mean your love.

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
