Summary

This quote highlights the essence of leadership, emphasizing the need to identify and seize opportunities. To be a leader, one must possess the vision and initiative to recognize which path to follow and then take charge by leading the way. It's not enough to simply follow the crowd; true leadership lies in stepping forward, inspiring others with a clear direction, and guiding them towards a common goal. By positioning oneself ahead of the "parade," leaders set the pace, drive change, and motivate others to join and follow their lead.

These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier

These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value. I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death.
