Just as the good actor perform well whatever role the poet assigns, so too must the good man perform whatever Fortune assigns. For she, says Bion, just like a poet, sometimes assigns the leading role, sometimes that of the supporting role; sometimes that of a king, sometimes that of a beggar. Do not, therefore, being a supporting actor, desire the role of the lead.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Opinion governs all mankind, like the blind's leading of the blind
Samuel Butler
The road leading to a goal does not separate you from the destination; it is essentially a part of it.
Charles de Lint
We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

The inability of those in power to still the voices of their own consciences is the great force leading to change.
