~By Paul Martin ~

A lot of these people, these program directors, just like anybody else in the world, even though they're supposed to be leaders in the world, they're followers. They follow what they think someone else is doing, instead of trying to blaze a trail.
~By Talib Kweli ~

~By Rudy Giuliani ~

~By Norm Coleman ~
It is only the Somalis themselves - and I don't hide that fact when I meet the political leaders here - they themselves have to stop their old practices of fighting each other every time they have a problem. They have to learn how to do peaceful conflict resolution.

~By James MacGregor Burns ~
Leadership is diving for a loose ball, getting the crowd involved, getting other players involved. It's being able to take it as well as dish it out. That's the only way you're going to get respect from the players.
~By Larry Bird ~
By their own admission, leaders of the Republican Revolution of 1994 think their greatest mistake was overlooking the power of the veto. They gave the impression they were somehow in charge when they weren't.

~By Shimon Peres ~
The rest of the world cares about how we conduct our affairs because they then take that lead. We're the only leader in the world today.

~By Tom Wolfe ~
Motivated more by partisan politics than by national security, today's Democratic leaders see America as an occupier, not a liberator. And nothing makes this Marine madder than someone calling American troops occupiers rather than liberators.

~By Anita Borg ~
I think Mr. Clarke had a tendency to interfere too much with the activities of the CIA, and our leadership at the senior level let him interfere too much. So criticism from him I kind of wear as a badge of honor.

America would be a better place if leaders would do more long-term thinking.
~By Wilma Mankiller ~

~By Abu Bakar Bashir ~
There's a very big gulf between the black civil rights leadership in America and the black middle class in America. The black middle class are conservative. Many of those minorities can be persuaded to be members of the Republican Party.
~By Pete du Pont ~
This assumption of Negro leadership in the ghetto, then, must not be confined to matters of religion, education, and social uplift; it must deal with such fundamental forces in life as make these things possible.
~By Carter G. Woodson ~

My point is cutting spending shouldn't be reliant on the debt limit though. It's something we have to do.

~By David Plouffe ~
Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.
