Joseph Campbell

"...the X factor that distinguishes truly great leaders is not personality but a paradoxical combination of humility and will in service to a cause bigger than the personal ambitions of that leader."
Kethledge and Erwin

"Spirituality, our true aim, is the consciousness of victory over self and of communion with the Infinite."
David O. McKay
