Leadership is a delicate blend of self-confidence and humility. You have to have the self-confidence to say, 'You don't want to make that decision without my input!' But self-confidence without humility becomes a problem. I may be the CEO. But part of that was having a few skills, and part of it was luck. Part of it was the man upstairs. So I'm no better than anyone else. Self-confidence and humility: Blend those two together, and you have someone who has a good chance of leading effectively.
George S. Patton Jr.

He only wants to relax until he's ready to renew such a feeling all over again because to him, all else has become absolutely trivial.
