Who ought to be the king of france-the person who has the title, or the man who has the power?

About This Quote

This quote has been said by so many leaders, but the meaning remains the same. Who ought to be the King of France? Is it the person who holds the title or is it the one who has the power? What makes a leader great is not how great he is, but how much power he has. A true leader can have one follower, one army, and one ship. He can have only one soldier.

He can have just one ship. He can be just as great as a king with these few followers. Not everyone should aspire to be a great leader.

Only those who are willing to use their power for good will ever truly deserve the title.
