"Beware the leader who bangs the drums..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“All's well if all ends well.”

“Their understandingBegins to swell and the approaching tideWill shortly fill the reasonable shoresThat now lie foul and muddy.”

“Come not within the measure of my wrath.”

“The answer is, of course, that it would be best to be both loved and feared. But since the two rarely come together, anyone compelled to choose will find greater security in being feared than in being loved.”

“There is no greater leadership challenge than parenting.”

“I welcome and seek your ideas, but do not bring me small ideas; bring me big ideas to match our future.”

“I think people have a need to feel good about the country they live in, but what's happening, I think, is that that need - which is a good thing - is getting manipulated and exploited.”

“I gather, young man, that you wish to be a Member of Parliament. The first lesson that you must learn is, when I call for statistics about the rate of infant mortality, what I want is proof that fewer babies died when I was Prime Minister than when anyone else was Prime Minister. That is a political statistic.”

“Pity was meant to be a spur that drives joy to help misery. But it can be used the wrong way round. It can be used for a kind of blackmailing. Those who choose misery can hold joy up to ransom, by pity.”
