Famous quotes containing the word leader:
“The exile is a singular, whereas refugees tend to be thought of in the mass. Armenian refugees, Jewish refugees, refugees from Franco Spain. But a political leader or artistic figure is an exile. Thomas Mann yesterday, Theodorakis today. Exile is the noble and dignified term, while a refugee is more hapless.... What is implied in these nuances of social standing is the respect we pay to choice. The exile appears to have made a decision, while the refugee is the very image of helplessness.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
“The intelligent employer encourages challenge, questioning—not blind acceptance and “our Leader knows best” acclaim.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“I am a leader by default, only because nature does not allow a vacuum.”
—Desmond Tutu (b. 1931)
