Leadership is about vision, courage, and the willingness to take calculated risks.

The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.

The more we love our friends， the less we flatter them； it is by excusing nothing that pure love shows itself.
