Quotes About Leaders

We have a responsibility to remember, celebrate, and come to the aid of those women who once gave of themselves on our behalf . . . We cannot afford to forget or trample on our feminine leaders of the past.
~ Renita J. Weems
Although distortion of the past is widespread, the most common travesty is one of omission, wherein populist leaders neglect to mention the crimes committed by their own side or recollect them in such a way that evades accepting full responsibility. That politicians are so able to evoke historical arguments in these ways results from a prior failure of the society to engage in a full and frank encounter with past wrongdoings.
~ Richard Ashby Wilson

We spent the first half hour being escorted around the room, introduced to what seemed like every politician and business leader in the state. I know I should have been impressed, but I couldn't help thinking that I was in the same room with quite possibly every person responsible for the Florida election snafu, and the subsequent election of George W. Bush, and somehow I couldn't muster a proper feeling of awe.
~ Kelley Armstrong
Dimka kept his face expressionless. Trofim Lysenko was a scientific charlatan, a clever self-promoter who had won Khrushchev's favor even though his research was worthless. He promised improved yields that never materialized, but he managed to persuade political leaders that his opponents were "anti-progress," an accusation that was as fatal in the USSR as "Communist" was in the USA
~ Ken Follett
When I was doing the research for Fall of Giants I was shocked to realize that the First World War was a war that nobody wanted. No European leader on either side intended it to happen. But the emperors and prime ministers, one by one, made decisions—logical, moderate decisions—each of which took us a small step closer to the most terrible conflict the world had ever known.
~ Ken Follett
people always credit Prime Ministers with more brains than they've got.
~ Ken Follett

~ George W. Bush
Whereas the rulers of Germany in 1914 and her allies who provoked World War I were—to use the term in its most generous sense—at least "gentlemen," the leaders of the Axis powers in 1941 were thugs. They were, most of them, amoral murderers and brutish torturers who gained power through assassination and corruption, and more than sixty years after the fact this remains a stubborn truth.
~ Winston Groom

Every system either finds a way to develop or else it collapses." And with that, Solzhenitsyn was gone.
~ David Remnick
The thing about Markham that keeps it off my radar is that it pretty much doesn't have a single team that I can bet on, or against.

That's all well and good, but it doesn't get you into a bowl game.
~ David Rosenfelt
