to the people. Learn from them. Live with them.
Start with what they know. Build with what they have.

is accomplished, the people will say we have done it
ourselves.

A
leader is a dealer in hope.

Rely
on your own strength of body and soul. Take for your
star self-reliance, faith, honesty and industry. Don't
take too much advice — keep at the helm and steer your
own ship, and remember that the great art of commanding
is to take a fair share of the work. Fire above the
mark you intend to hit. Energy, invincible determination
with the right motive, are the levers that move the
world.
Noah Porter
If
your actions inspire others to dream more,
learn more, do more and become more,
you are a leader.

The

tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and
they will surprise you with their ingenuity.

light my candle from their torches.

A
bold onset is half the battle.

is more difficult.

he him who would be moved to convince others, be first
moved to convince himself.
