Turning Over A Greenleaf

 As I was looking for cryptoquotes to do on line (via the Puzzle Baron site), they give you the option of choosing quotes by way of  notable persons brought forward, you can choose to do the one presented or look for another by pressing the “play” button.  I tend to want to do quotes by women, and so I keep going through the names presented until a women’s name comes up.  Today, I bypassed Robert Greenleaf, the founder of the modern Servant leadership movement, and then regretted having done so ... there was no going back to see what the quote was.  His surname is an addition to the recently occurring “Trees Theme” pattern cluster.  I could however investigate him.Note the following info on the notable persons mentioned on the Servant Leader Wikipedia page:

  • Hermann Karl Hesse (2 July 1877 – 9 August 1962) 
  • Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton (née Rodham; born October 26, 1947)
  • John Eric[1] Adair (born 18 May 1934)
I then googled “notable Servant Leaders” and was directed to a site “5 Famous Servant Leaders” where one stood out: 
  • Martin Luther King Jr. (born Michael King Jr.; January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968) 
And so the cluster in my previous post expands “January 15(x9)” pattern cluster.  

On the Robert K. Greenleaf Center , aka Greenleaf Organization web site, one of his quotes on the opening page describes a “SERVANT LEADER”:
