Always Compromise Does Harness Leadership Wear

Quote Author

Woodrow Wilson
American - President
December 28, 1856 - February 3, 1924

Leadership does not always wear the harness of compromise. Once and again one of those great influences which we call a Cause arises in the midst of a nation. Men of strenuous minds and high ideals come forward.... The attacks they sustain are more cruel than the collision of arms.... Friends desert and despise them.... They stand alone and oftentimes are made bitter by their isolation.... They are doing nothing less than defy public opinion, and shall they convert it by blows. Yes.

Woodrow Wilson

People will not follow a leader with moral incongruities for long. Every time you compromise character you compromise leadership. The foundation of firm leadership is character.

Bill Hybels

Sustainable leadership does not compromise the future by expanding and accelerating too quickly in the present.

Andy Hargreaves

Frank-Walter Steinmeier

If you do it first class and you don't compromise values, and you don't compromise quality, and you don't compromise service, and you don't compromise cleanliness, then everybody else who is the competitor has got to play catch-up.

Ray Kroc

Myles Munroe

Just keep asking questions. Does this job allow me to be myself? Does it make me smarter? Does it open doors? Does it represent a compromise I accept? Does it touch my inner being?

Suzy Welch

America must always lead on the world stage. If we don't, no one else will. The military that you have joined is, and always will be, the backbone of that leadership. But U.S. military action cannot be the only - or even primary - component of our leadership in every instance. Just because we have the best hammer does not mean that every problem is a nail.

Barack Obama

When you harness your leadership skill to your broken heart change happens.

Andy Stanley

Cultural synthesis is how a compromise between various opinions is worked out. But truth does not change, and truth is not arrived at by some sort of compromise.

David Novak

I go back to what Mrs. Roosevelt taught me: 'Always compromise, but compromise upwards.'

Esther Peterson

Being in a band is always a compromise. Provided that the balance is good, what you lose in compromise, you gain by collaboration.

Mike Rutherford

How can I wear the harness of toil And sweat at the daily round, While in my soul forever The drums of Pictdom sound?

Robert E. Howard

A visionary leadership is required to harness rapid technological change for positive benefit rather than allowing to become disruptive and further exacerbate economic inequality.

Piyush Goyal

Compromise, contrary to popular opinion, does not mean selling out one's principles. Compromise means working out differences to forge a solution which fits the diversity of the body politic.

Madeleine M. Kunin

There can be no compromise on basic principles. There can be no compromise on moral issues. There can be no compromise on matters of knowledge, of truth, of rational conviction.

Ayn Rand
