Quote by George W. Goethals
Faith in the ability of a leader is of slight service unless it be united with faith in his justice.
Summary
This quote emphasizes the importance of not only having faith in a leader's abilities, but also in their sense of justice. Merely trusting a leader's skills or capabilities is not enough; one must also have confidence in their fairness and moral judgment. True leadership requires a combination of competence and integrity, acknowledging that a leader's actions should be guided by principles of justice and equality. Without belief in a leader's justice, blind faith in their abilities alone can be ineffective or even harmful to the people they are meant to lead.
