The ability to kill someone doesn't make you a leader, and it doesn't make someone great. There's nothing great about dying or taking a life.

About This Quote

In this quote, Nelson Mandela talks about how being a leader can be a curse if it is based solely on the ability to kill. The greatest leaders have the greatest ability to use their power for good. In fact, an ability to kill does not make someone a great leader. To be a great leader means that you have the ability to bring people together and lead them through difficult times. You have the ability to be a positive influence in the lives of others, which is what makes you great.
