Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.

He who wishes to be obeyed must know how to command.

Many people, including some conservatives, have been very impressed with how brainy the president and his advisers are. But that is not quite as reassuring as it might seem.

Some people say that the climate crisis is something that we will have created, but that is not true, because if everyone is guilty then no one is to blame. And someone is to blame.

Being president isn’t anything like reality TV. It’s not about sending insulting tweets or making fiery speeches; it’s about whether or not the candidate can handle the awesome responsibility of leading this country.

Nothing is so strongly fortified that it cannot be taken by money.

When you’re in a leadership role, you can never please all of the people all of the time. There’s also a lot of responsibility that goes along with it that others may not realize.

The revolution has always been in the hands of the young. The young always inherit the revolution.

Time is compressed like the fist I close on my knee… I hold inside it the clues and solutions and the power for what I must do now.

For Forms of Government let fools contest; whatever is best administered is best.

The man who can dominate a London dinner-table can dominate the world.

Most of the problems a President has to face have their roots in the past.

The key is taking responsibility and initiative, deciding what your life is about and prioritizing your life around the most important things.

Ice-cream is exquisite – what a pity it isn’t illegal.

One of the key qualities a leader must possess is the ability to detach from the chaos, mayhem, and emotions in a situation and make good, clear decisions based on what is actually happening.

By ancestry, I was born to rule.

Perhaps it is better to be irresponsible and right, than to be responsible and wrong.

We are so very ‚umble.

One of the things that was really an issue was I did not want to just be a woman secretary of state. I wanted to be a secretary of a state who was a woman, but not just chosen for that particular reason.

I want to use my position of leadership to help move along at a faster pace what I believe and know the Obama administration wants to do around the urgency of climate change.

The leaders come up from the volunteers that do the work, and it’s amazing because then they do these incredible things in their community that they never thought they had the power to make that happen.

That’s the good thing about being president, I can do whatever I want.

I began revolution with 82 men. If I had to do it again, I do it with 10 or 15 and absolute faith. It does not matter how small you are if you have faith and plan of action.

I’ve been so blessed to play for the greatest coach at a time when our organization has done incredible things. I’ve played with the best teammates. Playing for Mr. Kraft and what his influence on the team has been.

Work is of two kinds: first, altering the position of matter at or near the earth’s surface relative to other matter; second, telling other people to do so.

I loved being Secretary of State, that’s probably evident to everyone who watched me.

My desire to devolve authority has nothing to do with a wish to shirk responsibility.

I am not interested in power for power’s sake, but I’m interested in power that is moral, that is right and that is good.

I look forward to a great future for America – a future in which our country will match its military strength with our moral restraint, its wealth with our wisdom, its power with our purpose.

Moral authority is never retained by any attempt to hold on to it. It comes without seeking and is retained without effort.

I think my message to the politicians who have within their power the ability to make change is, ‚Do you really, really not care about the future of your great-grandchildren? Because if we let the world continue to be destroyed the way we are now, what’s the world going to be like for your great-grandchildren?‘

A director makes 100 decisions an hour. Students ask me how you know how to make the right decision, and I say to them, ‚If you don’t know how to make the right decision, you’re not a director.‘
