It is the solemn obligation of a leader always to be a leader. Even when - perhaps especially when - you don't feel like being a leader.

I think it's good to have competition. Now we have a third country that can launch astronauts, so it's good for all of us. It makes us a little bit more competitive and wanting to be the leader.

Julie Nixon Eisenhower

A leader must have the courage to act against an expert's advice.
