"People are difficult to rule, because of..." - Quote by Lao Tzu

“In lightness the root is lost. In haste the ruler is lost.”

“The group will not prosper if the leader grabs the lion's share of the credit for the good work that has been done.”

“The truth often sounds paradoxical.”

“History is full, down to this day, of the imbecility of kings and governors. They are a class of persons much to be pitied, for they know not what they should do.”

“There is a lot of work to be done to make sure our leaders reflect the people they are supposed to represent. The more diverse a group of decision makers is, the more informed the decision will be. Until we achieve full representation, we all should understand we are falling short of the ideals of our country.”

“The best fortress which a prince can possess is the affection of his people.”

“History never embraces more than a small part of reality”

“The admiral needs only one science, that of navigation. The general needs all the sciences.”

“I am a part of everything that I have read.”
