More on Order
“There is in nature a parallel unity which corresponds to the unity in the mind and makes it available. This methodizing mind meets no resistance in its attempts. The scattered blocks, with which it strives to form a symmetrical structure, fit. This design following after finds with joy that like design went before. Not only man puts things in a row, but things belong in a row.”
“For the world was built in order around the atoms march in tune; Rhyme the pipe, and Time the warder, The sun obeys them, and the moon.”
“Occurrences in this domain are beyond the reach of exact prediction because of the variety of factors in operation, not because of any lack of order in nature.”
More on Management
“We herd sheep, we drive cattle, we lead people. Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.”
“Nothing can be made except by makers, nothing can be managed except by managers. Money cannot make anything and money cannot manage anything.”
“Executives owe it to the organization and to their fellow workers not to tolerate nonperforming individuals in important jobs.”
