Our loyalty is due entirely to the united states. it is due to the president only and exactly to the degree in which he efficiently serves the united states. it is our duty to support him when he serves the united states well. it is our duty to oppose him when he serves it badly. this is true about mr. wilson now and it has been true about all our presidents in the past. it is our duty at all times to tell the truth about the president and about every one else, save in the cases where to tell the truth at the moment would benefit the public enemy.
Loyalty Past Support

Good leaders set vision, missions, and goals. great leaders inspire every follower at every level to internalize their purpose, and to understand that their purpose goes far beyond the mere details of their job. when everyone is united in purpose, a positive purpose that serves not only the organization but also, hopefully, the world beyond it, you have a winning team.

I've never met a person who does not want a safer world, better medical care and education for their children, and peace with their neighbours. i just don't meet those people. what i meet, over and over again, as i travel around, is that the essential human condition is optimistic - in every one of these places.
