“In the weakness of one kind of authority, and in the fluctuation of all, the officers of an army will remain for some time mutinous and full of faction, until some popular general, who understands the art of conciliating the soldiery, and who possesses the true spirit of command, shall draw the eyes of all men upon himself.

—Edmund Burke (1729–1797)
“Everybody has that thing where they need to look one way but they come out looking another way and that’s what people observe.
