“It is well to respect the leader. Learn from him. Observe him. Study him. But don't worship him. Believe you can surpass. Believe you can go beyond. Those who harbor the second-best attitude are invariably second-best doers.”
David Joseph Schwartz
“Everyone should be respected as an individual, but no one idolized.”

“Wonder is the basis of worship”
Thomas Carlyle
“Celebrity-worship and hero-worship should not be confused. Yet we confuse them every day, and by doing so we come dangerously close to depriving ourselves of all real models. We lose sight of the men and women who do not simply seem great because they are famous but are famous because they are great. We come closer and closer to degrading all fame into notoriety.”
Daniel J. Boorstin
“But I have seen the science I worshipped and the aircraft I loved destroying the civilization I expected them to serve.”
Charles Lindbergh
“Prosperity is only an instrument to be used, not a deity to be worshipped.”
Calvin Coolidge
