Not So Important To Make Others Feel Important

Queen Victoria once shared her impressions of her two most famous prime ministers.  Of William Gladstone, she said, "When I am with him, I feel I am with one of the most important leaders in the world."

On the other hand, she confessed that when she was with Disraeli, he made her feel "as if I am one of the most important leaders of the world."
