The best leaders are those who empower others to lead.
Society can and does execute its own mandates, and if it issues wrong mandates instead of right, or any mandates at all in things with which it ought not to meddle, it practices a social tyranny more formidable than many kinds of political oppression, since, though not usually upheld by such extreme penalties, it leaves fewer means of escape, penetrating much more deeply into the details of life, and enslaving the soul itself.
真正的幸福的源泉在我们自身。一个人只要自己善于追求幸福,别人是无法使他落到真正悲惨的境地的。
