An intellectual is a man who takes more words than necessary to tell more than he knows. I think that people want peace so much that one of these days government had better get out of their way and let them have it. Don't join the book burners. Do not think you are going to conceal thoughts by concealing evidence that they ever existed. When people speak to you about a preventive war, you tell them to go and fight it. After my experience, I have come to hate war. War settles nothing. I do not believe that any political campaign justifies the declaration of a moratorium on ordinary common sense. I'm saving that rocker for the day when I feel as old as I really am. Leadership is a word and a concept that has been more argued than almost any other I know. I am not one of the desk-pounding types that likes to stick out his jaw and look like he is bossing the show. I would far rather get behind and, recognizing the frailties and the requirements of human nature, would rather try to persuade a man to go along, because once I have persuaded him, he will stick. If I scare him, he will stay just as long as he is scared, and then he is gone. Leadership: The art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it. |
