Gaulle - A quoty man

A true leader always keeps an element of surprise up his sleeve, which others cannot grasp but which keeps his public excited and breathless.

Deliberation is the work of many men. Action, of one alone.

In order to become the master, the politician poses as the servant.

In politics it is necessary either to betray one's country or the electorate. I prefer to betray the electorate.

Never relinquish the initiative.

Silence is the ultimate weapon of power.

The cemeteries of the world are full of indispensable men.

- Charles de Gaulle
