“Now what is
intelligence? It is
when your senses
and consciousness
calculate on the
spot. Senses will say
one thing.
Consciousness will
say something
different. And when
you can put it
together, two and
two, that is
intelligence.”

“To lead people, walk beside them. As for the best
leaders, the people do not notice their existence. The
next best, the people honor and praise. The next, the
people fear; and the next, the people hate…when the
best leader’s work is done the people say, ‘We did it
ourselves.” – Leo-Tsu
“You don’t lead by hitting people over the head—that’s assault, not
leadership.” – Dwight Eisenhower
