Quote #7 on Political Struggle Quotes >> Masters and The Masses
“You have depended too much on that leader and not enough on yourself. I don't want you to follow me. I want you to cultivate self-reliance.
If I have the slightest capacity for leadership I can only give evidence of it by leading you to rely upon yourselves.”
