Well I've ruffled a few feathers at all the institutions I've led. But I think that's part of leadership.

There is no international problem that can be addressed or solved without the engagement and leadership of the United States and everybody in the world knows that its just fact of life. So sometimes I think we could conduct ourselves with a little more humility.

The leadership lost its nerve. Instead of taking the lead in the reform movement... they pulled the plug on it. They tried and are still trying to return the church to the dry ice of the previous century and a half.

The problem is is that President Bush and the Republican leadership in the Congress have resisted attempts to increase dramatically our fuel economy standards over the last five years.

I believe it is time for new leadership that is able to leave the '70s behind.

Under the leadership of this President the state of the union is not strong. We are being pulled apart rather than pulling together. Our democracy is suffering from the choices being made and yet we are offered the same tired excuses and unrealistic analyses.

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.

I mean Emily Harris was his wife. And she seemed to resent his leadership but on the other hand she felt like a good soldier that he had to be the leader.

We have treated our most serious adversaries such as Iran and North Korea in the most juvenile manner - by giving them the silent treatment. In so doing we have weakened not strengthened our bargaining position and our leadership.

Democrats have no agenda no plan for the future and no sense of leadership.

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.

But 85 percent of the mosques have extremist leadership in this country. Most Muslims the overwhelming majority of Muslims are loyal Americans.

As far as Iraq the important thing is that the Taliban is gone in Afghanistan three-quarters of the al-Qaida leadership is either dead or in jail and we now have Saudi Arabia working with us Pakistan working with us.

Many citizens see all the leadership of these large institutions together in a conspiracy against them rather than in any adversary relationship with each other.

So I think that our foreign policy the president's strong and principled leadership when it comes to the war against terror and foreign policy is going to be an asset.

If Ralph Nader runs President Bush is going to be re-elected and if Ralph Nader doesn't run President Bush is going to be re-elected. We're going to run on the president's strong and principled leadership and his positive agenda for a second term.

In addition to removing our democratically elected government Israel wants to sow dissent among Palestinians by claiming that there is a serious leadership rivalry among us. I am compelled to dispel this notion definitively.

In terms of having views and being prepared to express them yes I think New Zealand's had a leadership role in a lot of things.

In this nation leadership is dollars.

In the area we're discussing leadership begins on Madison Avenue on the desks and in the offices of people who spend hundreds of millions of dollars buying what will get them ratings.

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

I think most Americans understand that we went through a period in which American leadership was judged quite critically internationally.

Such manifestations I account as representing the creative leadership of the new forces of thought and appreciation which attend changes in technological pattern and therefore of the pattern of human relationships in society.

And I'd say one of the great lessons I've learned over the past couple of decades from a management perspective is that really when you come down to it it really is all about people and all about leadership.
