A leader does not deserve the name unless he is willing occasionally to stand alone.

The task of the leader is to get his people from where they are to where they have not been.

A leader who confines his role to his people's experience dooms himself to stagnation; a leader who outstrips his people's experience runs the risk of not being understood.

I don't see why we need to stand by and watch a country go communist due to the irresponsibility of its people. The issues are much too important for the Chilean voters to be left to decide for themselves.

A president has an inescapable responsibility to provide direction: What are we trying to achieve? What are we trying to prevent? Why? To do that, he has to both analyze and reflect.

No man is fit to be a Senator... unless he is willing to surrender his political life for great principle.
