that guarantees all others.’

from in front.’ Peter Young

morning kind:I mean unprepared courage,that which is necessary on an
unexpected occasion;and which,in spite of the most unforeseen events,
leaves full freedom of judgement and decision.’ Napoleon
‘President Roosevelt possessed personality, but as his
nation’s leader… he also did his homework – thoroughly.’
‘A sense of humility is a quality I have observed in every
leader I have deeply admired.’ Dwight D Eisenhower
