Monday Ménage: Leadership. Reason. Liberal and Journalist.

Dew. Einstein. Cronkite.

 

True leaders understand that leadership is not about them but about those they serve. It is not about exalting themselves but about lifting others up. Sheri L. Dew.

 

All of us who are concerned for peace and triumph of reason and justice must be keenly aware how small an influence reason and honest good will exert upon events in the political field. Albert Einstein.

 

I think being a liberal, in the true sense, is being nondoctrinaire, nondogmatic, non-committed to a cause – but examining each case on its merits. Being left of center is another thing; it’s a political position. I think most newspapermen by definition have to be liberal; if they’re not liberal, by my definition of it, then they can hardly be good newspapermen. If they’re preordained dogmatists for a cause, then they can’t be very good journalists; that is, if they carry it into their journalism. Walter Cronkite.
