“We all need affirmation, but accepting accolades in an undisciplined way can lead to grandiosity, an inflated view of yourself and your cause. People may invest you with magic, and you can begin to think you have it. The higher the level of distress, the greater are people’s hopes and expectations that you can provide deliverance. They may put too much faith in you.”

“that's what love-driven leaders do. They see further. They move themselves beyond what blocks our vision in order to see what a fairer, more welcoming world might look like. They point the way to a future in which true men and women will enjoy greater chances to reach their potential. And leaders guided by the resolve that "love ought to manifest itself more by deeds than by words" help create that better future.”
