Quote by Ella Wheeler Wilcox, from The Le
He who leads Must then be strong and hopeful as the dawnThat rises unafraid and full of joyAbove the blackness of the darkest night.He must be kind to every living thing;Kind as the Krishna, Buddha and the Christ,And full of love for all created life.Oh, not in war shall his great prowess lie,Nor shall he find his pleasure in the chase.Too great for slaughter, friend of man and beast,Touching the borders of the Unseen RealmsAnd bringing down to earth their mystic firesTo light our troubled pathways, wise and kindAnd human to the core, so shall he be,The coming leader of the coming time.

Their greatness should not come from engaging in war or the pursuit of killing, but rather from their connection to the unseen realms and their ability to bring enlightenment and guidance to others. The quote suggests that the leader of the future should be wise, kind, and human at their very core.
