"The leader works in the open and..." - Quote by Theodore Roosevelt

“It is always better to be an original than an imitation.”

“The party belongs to the millions of the rank and file. It does not belong to the handful of politicians who have assumed fraudulently to upset the will of the rank and file. The action of these men is in no sense "regular," as they claim it to be.... theft and dishonesty cannot give and never shall give a title to regularity.”

“The credit belongs to those who are actually in the arena, who strive valiantly; who know the great enthusiasums, the great devotions, and spend themselves in a worthy cause; who at best know the triumph of high achievement; and who, at worst, if they fail, fail while daring greatly, so that their place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”

“It is possible for leaders or regimes to be cruel, bigoted, twisted in their world views and still make rational calculations with respect to their limits and their self-preservation.”

“I can promise you that when I go to Sacramento I will pump up Sacramento.”

“So the nature required to make a really noble Guardian of our commonwealth will be swift and strong, spirited, and philosophic.”

“Not to innovate is the single largest reason for the decline of existing organizations. Not to know how to manage is the single largest reason for the failure of new ventures.”

“Time is the scarcest resource and unless it is managed nothing else can be managed.”

“Good people are not trained, they are found. If you are training too much, you may not have the right people.”
