"Never mind your happiness; do your duty...." - Quote by Peter Drucker

“Working with people is difficult, but not impossible.”

“Most Americans do not know what their strengths are. When you ask them, they look at you with a blank stare, or they respond in terms of subject knowledge, which is the wrong answer.”

It also requires something that is most difficult for existing companies to do: to abandon rather than defend yesterday.”

“When my country, into which I had just set my foot, was set on fire about my ears, it was time to stir. It was time for every man to stir.”

“If I was wrong in yielding to persuasion once, remember that it was to persuasion exerted on the side of safety, not of risk. When I yielded, I thought it was to duty; but no duty could be called in aid here. In marrying a man indifferent to me, all risk would have been incurred and all duty violated.”

“Beneficence is a duty.”

“The application of collective guilt, running from one generation to another, is a dangerous doctrine which would leave few modern nations unscathed.”

“All the heavenly Bodies, the Stars and Planets, are regulated with the utmost Wisdom! And can we suppose less Care to be taken in the Order of the moral than in the natural System?”

“When a man is ill his very goodness is sickly.”
