As a woman my style defines my leadership. It's a gentler more compassionate approach. I consult I listen and I compromise where it's in the best interest of the citizens.

President Bush offers the American people an optimistic vision and a clear choice in November. The President has provided steady leadership in remarkably changing times. He knows exactly where he wants to lead this country and he has complete confidence in the American people.

That is what leadership is all about: staking your ground ahead of where opinion is and convincing people not simply following the popular opinion of the moment.

We live in a time where government is not a leadership thing it's more a business that's out there and running riot so I guess the people have to go out there and say stuff.

And if the imam and the Muslim leadership in that community is so intent on building bridges then they should voluntarily move the mosque away from ground zero and move it whether it's uptown or somewhere else but move it away from that area the same as the pope directed the Carmelite nuns to move a convent away from Auschwitz.

I think the greater responsibility in terms of morality is where leadership begins.

Obama is thoroughly mixed up with all these things he's got. He's got to solve Libya. He's got to solve Afghanistan. He's everywhere. And this nation I don't know why it's not showing the leadership and capacity to attend different issues at the same time.

I have never been afraid to stand up to the leadership on issues where we disagree. If you chose to keep Cambridge Labour then I can continue to press the Government for the things that matter to you in a way that members of the opposition are unable to.

Aren't we at the point where the closer we get to chaos the more concern that there should be about coming to the table and compromising with Democrats? This is not leadership. This is almost like dictatorship.

Where there is an absence of international political leadership civil society should step in to fill the gap providing the energy and vision needed to move the world in a new and better direction.

I think it is quite dangerous for an organisation to think they can predict where they are going to need leadership. It needs to be something that people are willing to assume if it feels relevant given the context of any situation.

I believe that the capacity that any organisation needs is for leadership to appear anywhere it is needed when it is needed.

The task of the leader is to get his people from where they are to where they have not been.

Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected.

Be ignorance thy choice where knowledge leads to woe.

In any case in so far as our knowledge of the universe carries us the advent of civilization for the first time on our globe represents the highest ascent of the life processes to which evolution had anywhere attained.

To break boundaries interests me. With all the knowledge that is available now in the world it should be accessible to everyone. You can get so much information on the Internet now and yet there are so many places in the world where people just don't have the education.

A paradigm shift where in addition to physical inputs for farming a focused emphasis placed on knowledge inputs can be a promising way forward. This knowledge-based approach will bring immense returns particularly in rain fed and dry land farming areas.

I think my dyslexia was a vital part of my development because my inability to read and write meant that I had to find knowledge elsewhere so I looked to the cinema.

We are rather in the position that used to exist at the BBC where you feel that you can pick up the phone to people who are experts in their field and they will be very favourably disposed to you and share their knowledge.

I am excited to bring my deep knowledge passion and expertise of soccer in this country to The New York Cosmos. They truly represent where this sport is headed on a national and international level and I want to make history with them.

I've done a lot of things in a business where you're lucky to stay alive so when the time comes I'll be happy to pass my knowledge along and help someone else.

In other words knowledge of the external world begins with an immediate utilisation of things whereas knowledge of self is stopped by this purely practical and utilitarian contact.

I found it peculiar that those who wanted to take military action could - with 100 per cent certainty - know that the weapons existed and turn out to have zero knowledge of where they were.
