Tao Bible - Matthew 11:11

Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
~ King James version ~

The sage stays behind, thus he is ahead.
He is detached, thus at one with all.
~ from Verse 7 of the Tao Te Ching ~
True leaders are not those at the head of the procession. The person who craves to be out in front is trying to serve their own desires, not others. The best leaders are those who put others first.
