“A leader is someone who takes a chance on the destiny of a large mass of people.”

“A leader takes people where they want to go. A great leader takes people where they don't necessarily want to go, but ought to be.”

“Choice, not chance, determines your destiny.”

“Who takes the blame: the leader who talks of poverty but lives in luxury, or the poor who choose a leader of that type?”

“Blessed are the people whose leaders can look destiny in the eye without flinching but also without attempting to play God.”

“From someone who doesn't want to share your destiny, you should neither accept a cigarette”

“A consistent man believes in Destiny — a capricious man in Chance.”

“Take a chance! All life is a chance. The man who goes farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare.”

“If someone humiliates and hurts us, it is difficult to give them a second chance and turn the other cheek. They might just take another swing at us, we are not ready for that kind of abuse. Who needs it?”

“You can grieve when someone dies. But when someone is near death, and there is the chance that you might prevent it if you make the right decision, anxiety takes over.”
