Laozi on leadership

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao;
The name that can be named is not the eternal name.
The nameless is the beginning of heaven and earth.

The sage wears coarse clothing over his shoulders, but carries jade within his bosom.

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
