Quote by Lord (George Gordon) Byron

When we think we lead we are most led.

When we think we lead we are most led.

Summary

This quote suggests that when we believe we are in control or leading others, we may be the ones being influenced or guided the most. It emphasizes the notion that our perceptions of power or authority can sometimes blind us from realizing our own vulnerabilities or susceptibilities to external influences. In thinking we are leading, we may fail to recognize the subtle ways in which we ourselves are being led or manipulated by others or forces beyond our awareness. It serves as a reminder to reflect on our own influence and the possibility of being led even when we think we are leading.

It is science alone that can solve the problems of hunger and poverty, of insanitation and illiteracy, of superstition and deadening custom and tradition, of vast resources running to waste, or a rich country inhabited by starving people...
