That the birds of worry and care fly over your head, this you cannot change, but that they build nests in your hair, this you can prevent.

A leader must be established in higher values, and be able to communicate her vision to the people. A leader must have impeccable character and be above reproach. She must be dedicated to the welfare of the people, not be driven by self-interest!
I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind.
