More From Francois De La Rochefoucauld

Most people think leadership is about being in charge. most people think leadership is about having all the answers and being the most intelligent person or the most qualified person in the room. the irony is that it is the complete opposite. leadership is about empowering others to achieve things they did not think possible. leadership is about pointing in the direction, articulating a vision of the world that does not yet exist. then asking help from others to insure that vision happens.
Intelligent Thinking Opposites
A wise man ought always to follow the paths beaten by great men, and to imitate those who have been supreme, so that if his ability does not equal theirs, at least it will savor of it. let him act like the clever archers who, designing to hit the mark which yet appears too far distant, and knowing the limits to which the strength of their bow attains, take aim much higher than the mark, not to reach by their strength or arrow to so great a height, but to be able with the aid of so high an aim to hit the mark they wish to reach.

We haven't been leading anybody. we've been acquiescing to a bunch of linguini-spined leftists all over the world, at the united nations, in nato, wherever it is. the people who don't even pay for their own defense. the people that don't even believe in guns and bullets to protect yourself are the people we have been acquiescing to. and they think this is called leadership. leadership is sponsoring america's decline. leadership is administering america's decline. leadership is admitting that america's superpower status was never deserved or warranted.

Knowing god without knowing our own wretchedness makes for pride. knowing our own wretchedness without knowing god makes for despair. knowing jesus christ strikes the balance because he shows us both god and our own wretchedness.
Jesus Pride Knowing
There's a difference between knowing god and knowing about god. knowing about god is all of the stuff we've been told and all of the books we've read and all of our religious experiences and what others have told us and tried to convince us of. but knowing god is when we make conscious contact.
Religious Book Convince Us
The pain comes from more than the facts of circumstance, or the deeds of others. it comes from within. from understanding what we lost. it comes from knowing how foolish we were - vain, arrogant children - when we thought ourselves happy. it comes from knowing how fragile and doomed the old ways were, just when we thought them and ourselves, secure!. the pain comes from knowing we have never been safe, and therefore will never be safe again. it comes from knowing we can never be children again.

It's the post-literate generation that is most disturbing to a movie-maker. the explosions and the knifings. people like to go to what's hot and you can't get past a certain gross unless you involve children who go more than once.
Children Past People
The religion of our fathers overhung us children like the shadow of a mighty tree against the trunk of which we rested, while we looked up in wonder through the great boughs that half hid and half revealed the sky. some of the boughs were already decaying, so that perhaps we began to see a little more of the sky than our elders; but the tree was sound at its heart.
