Now I think, speaking roughly, by leadership we mean the art of getting someone else to do something that you want done because he wants to do it, not because your position of power can compel him to do it, or your position of authority.

I think I'm a natural-born leader. I know how to bow down to authority if it's authority that I respect.

The people must not be counted upon; they cry indifferently : "Long live the King!" and "Long live the Conspirators!" a proper direction must be given to them, and proper instruments employed to effect it.

The very idea of the power and the right of the people to establish government presupposes the duty of every individual to obey the established government.

Orders and decorations are necessary in order to dazzle the people.

In this life we are either kings or pawns, emperors or fools.
