Instead of a weak and vacillating Government, a single, purposeful, energetic personality is ruling today.

Personality has power to uplift, power to depress, power to curse, and power to bless.
The single most exciting thing you encounter in government is competence, because it's so rare.
No government can be strong and flourishing while the national character is weak and degraded. A government must flourish and decay with its subjects; and, when a prince makes a law or performs an action which has a tendency to injure the character or prosperity of the nation, he injures himself.
In my view, stability only comes with a government that is elected by the people and works for the people.

A strong, successful man is not the victim of his environment. He creates favorable conditions. His own inherent force and energy compel things to turn out as he desires.
