One evening at Sagmore Hill, President Theodore Roosevelt’s home in New York, naturalist William Beebe walked outside with his host. Roosevelt searched the star-filled night sky and, finding a small glow below the corner of the constellation Pegasus, he said, “This is the spiral galaxy Andromeda. It is as large as our Milky Way. It consists of one hundred billion suns. It is one hundred billion galaxies.” Then Roosevelt looked at Beebe and said, “Now I think we are small enough! Let’s go to bed.”
A certain authority attaches to all leaders, and leadership would be impossible without it…leaders have power, but power is safe only in the hands of those who humble themselves to serve.
