Quote by Richard M. Nixon

I don't think that a leader can control, to any great extent, his destiny. Very seldom can he step in and change the situation if the forces of history are running in another direction.

I don't think that a leader can control, to any great extent

Summary

This quote suggests that leaders have limited control over their own destinies. It implies that the influence of historical forces often outweighs the leader's ability to change the course of events. Leaders may be unable to alter the trajectory of a situation if it is already being shaped by external circumstances beyond their control. It highlights the notion that leaders are subject to the whims of history and must sometimes adapt to the prevailing forces rather than attempting to exert complete control over their own fate.
