Choosing Leaders

Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought.
To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all the
coward fears.
To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists
who control the fool.
To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious
treasures to be stolen.
To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies.
To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you
love into slavery.

Octavia Butler
