Quote by Mitt Romney

Mr. President, you were elected to lead. You chose to follow

Summary

This quote can be interpreted as a criticism directed towards a President or any elected leader who has failed to fulfill their responsibilities effectively. The speaker asserts that the leader, instead of leading and making decisive choices, has been passive and merely followed the status quo. Therefore, the quote demands that it is now time for the President to step aside and allow others, who are more proactive and capable of leadership, to take charge and address the current issues.

If the individual, or heretic, gets hold of some essential truth, or sees some error in the system being practised, he commits so many marginal errors himself that he is worn out before he can establish his point.
