A leader is one who, out of madness or goodness, volunteers to take upon himself the woe of the people. There are few men so foolish, hence the erratic quality of leadership in the world. John Updike
Success is an absurd, erratic thing. She arrives when one least expects her and after she has come may depart again almost because of a whim. Alice Foote MacDougall
There can be no assumption that today's majority is "right" and the Amish and others like them are "wrong." A way of life that is odd or even erratic but interferes with no rights or interests of others is not to be condemned because it is different. Warren E. Burger
