You're the greatest cutter. I need an Elon Musk - I need somebody that has a lot of strength and courage and smarts. I want to close up the Department of Education, move education back to the states.

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

The youth of today are the leaders of tomorrow.

It is the dictate of history to bring to the fore the kind of leaders who seize the moment, who cohere the wishes and aspirations of the oppressed. Such was Steve Biko, a fitting product of his time; a proud representative of the re-awakening of a people.

Hating clouds the mind. It gets in the way of strategy. Leaders cannot afford to hate.

Real leaders must be ready to sacrifice all for the freedom of their people.
