Quote by Rosalynn Carter

A leader takes people where they want to go. A great leader takes people where they don't necessarily want to go, but ought to be.

A leader takes people where they want to go. A great leader

Summary

This quote emphasizes the difference between a good leader and a great leader. A good leader understands and fulfills the desires and goals of their followers, while a great leader goes beyond that. A great leader identifies the potential and growth opportunities that their followers may not recognize or initially want. They have the vision and ability to inspire others to venture into unfamiliar territories that may be challenging, but necessary for personal and collective growth. Serving as a guide and motivator, a great leader pushes individuals towards their full potential and leads them towards a better future, even when it is not the most popular or comfortable path to take.

I've been in and out of Wall Street since 1949, and I've never seen the type of animosity between government and Wall Street. And I'm not sure where it comes from, but I suspect it's got to do with a general schism in this society which is really becoming ever more destructive.

Relationships are like Rome -- difficult to start out, incredible during the prosperity of the 'golden age', and unbearable during the fall. Then, a new kingdom will come along and the whole process will repeat itself until you come across a kingdom like Egypt... that thrives, and continues to flourish. This kingdom will become your best friend, your soul mate, and your love.
