Lead or Leave (also known as Lead... or Leave) was an American grassroots political action group from 1992 to 1995 focused primarily on reducing the deficit. Led by Rob Nelson and Jonathan Cowan, it focused on recruiting young members. This "mini-movement" became so prominent, it was featured in several newsweeklies and papers and created a stir in "MTV-DC" during the Clinton era.

“The profession I chose was politics; the profession I entered was the law. I entered the one because I thought it would lead to the other. It was once the same road; and Congress is [s]till full of lawyers.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“A man of sense soon discovers, because he carefully observes, where and how long he is welcome; and takes care to leave the company at least as soon as he is wished out of it. Fools never perceive whether they are ill timed or ill placed.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
