America's leadership and prestige depend, not merely upon our unmatched material progress, riches and military strength, but on how we use our power in the interests of world peace and human betterment.

A sense of humor is part of the art of leadership, of getting along with people, of getting things done.

You don't lead by hitting people over the head - that's assault, not leadership.

Leadership consists of nothing but taking responsibility for everything that goes wrong and giving your subordinates credit for everything that goes well.

Character in many ways is everything in leadership. It is made up of many things, but I would say character is really integrity.

I'll tell you what leadership is. It's persuasion and conciliation, and education, and patience.
