- The biggest question he posed was, "Is it better to be loved than feared, or feared than loved?"
- - I believe that it is better to be feared than loved. Because if you're trying to get people to love you by being something you are not, then they don't honestly love the real you. Not every person in the world will love you, for you. 

If you were a leader, is it better to be loved than feared, or feared than loved?

- - Loved than feared, because as a leader you not only want to take charge, but you want to have respect and you want your people to love you.
