一位偉大的領袖，

自身接受百般的苦難，卻自願自己接受痛苦。

一位偉大的領袖

樂意單獨與主同在。

一位偉大的領袖，

願意每分、每日戰勝自己，提升，超乎自己。

一位偉大的領袖，

溫文有禮，卻永不摧毀真理，為了討好他人。

一位偉大的領袖，

駕御他的馬車向遙遠、偏僻的地方──目標駛去。

一位偉大的領袖，

生活簡樸，但他的道德力量卻從他每一聲音、每一手勢彰顯出來。

一位偉大的領袖，

是絕對的無所畏懼，

他只害怕上帝──神。

一位偉大的領袖，

不喜好意氣行事，卻喜好上帝的愛傾注給他。

一位偉大的領袖，

非常果斷行事，盡力嘗試和富同情心、溫情。

一位偉大的領袖，

他會覺得侮辱，如果你稱呼他為偉大，

因為他不需要您的判斷，他行事、生活只為取悅上帝──神。

A great leader suffers in a hundred different ways, and keeps his suffering to himself.

A great leader loves being alone with God.

A great leader overcomes himself, rises above himself, daily, minutely.

A great leader is polite, but he never tones down the truth just to please others.

A great leader hitches his wagon to the remote the unattainable, the stars.

A great leader is very simple, but the moral force of his conviction shines through every tone of his voice and every gesture of his hand.

A great leader is absolutely fearless－fearless because he fears only God.

A great leader loves not sentimentally, not by making an effort, but with the effortless over flow of God’s love for him.

A great leader is decisive, yet with the utmost tentativeness and tenderness.

You insult a great leader if you call him great；he does not want your judgment；he works and lives only to please God
