Quotes on humor and truth

"Control is not leadership; management is not leadership; leadership is leadership. If you seek to lead, invest at least 50% of your time in leading yourself—your own purpose, ethics, principles, motivation, conduct.

On achieving any goal, every sacrifice will seem justified, so do not fear to make them. "Greater love hath no man than this, to lay down his friends for his life'

Also you may find it useful to take counsel from Machiavelli, who wrote: "because people are wretched creatures who would not keep their word to you, you need not keep your word to them'

If it were easy to obtain power, would those who have it protect it as vehemently as they do? No, there are undoubtedly dangers along the way, and you will need all the cunning and perserverance you can muster in order to succeed. Major pitfalls and challenges are outlined where you will learn to watch your own back while stabbing someone elses and how to develop the alliances you need to secure a place at the top.

AN ABSOLUTE MUST READ FOR THE ASPIRING DICTATOR...available at Amazon.com

Waw, nice one...

Self-absorption in all its forms kills empathy, let alone compassion. When we focus on ourselves, our world contracts as our problems and preoccupations loom large. But when we focus on others, our world expands. Our own problems drift to the periphery of the mind and so seem smaller, and we increase our capacity for connection -- or compassionate action.

- Daniel Goleman

Where love rules, there is no will to power; and where power predominates, there love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other.

- Carl Jung

Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens.

- Carl Jung

Intuition is the supra-logic that cuts out all the routine processes of thought and leaps straight from the problem to the answer.

- Robert Graves

Once a misfit, always a misfit

Luz Macluz

You learn to speak by speaking, to study by studying, to run by running, to work by working; and just so, you learn to love by loving. All those who think to learn in any other way deceive themselves.

- Saint Francis de Sales

Truth: the most deadly weapon ever discovered by humanity. Capable of destroying entire perceptual sets, cultures, and realities. Outlawed by all governments everywhere. Possession is normally punishable by death.-- John Gilmore

How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours.

To look up and not down,
To look forward and not back,
To look out and not in and
To lend a hand.

TRICKS and TREACHERY are the practice of fools, that don't have the brains enough to be honest.

- Benjamin Franklin

We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms -- to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.

- Victor Frankl

Six essential qualities that are the key to success: Sincerity, personal integrity, humility, courtesy, wisdom, charity.
