Choose your leaders
            with wisdom and forethought.
To be led by a coward
            is to be controlled
            by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool
            is to be led
            by the opportunists
            who control the fool.
To be led by a thief
            is to offer up
            your most precious treasures
            to be stolen.
To be led by a liar
            is to ask
            to be told lies.
To be led by a tyrant
            is to sell yourself
            and those you love
            into slavery.
