Faced with crisis, the man of character falls back on himself. He imposes his own stamp of action, takes responsibility for it, makes it his own.
Charles de Gaulle

One of favorites...

"And those who were seen dancing were thought insane by those who could not hear the music." -- Friedrich Nietzsche

And my friend told me once - "If you're gonna go to Hell, you might as well be in charge".

I couldn't argue with his logic.
