“I am your servant. You have the right to dismiss me when you please. What you have no right to do is ask me to bear responsibility without the power of action.”
“We need to understand the difference between discipline and punishment. Punishment is what you do to someone; discipline is what you do for someone.”
“The better a man is, the more mistakes he will make, for the more new things he will try. I would never promote to a top-level job a man who was not making mistakes...otherwise he is sure to be mediocre.”

“The supreme function of reason is to show man that some things are beyond reason.”
“Human reason has the peculiar fate in one species of its cognitions that it is burdened with questions which it cannot dismiss, since they are given to it as problems by the nature of reason itself, but which it also cannot answer, since they transcend every capacity of human reason.”
“Absurd- that is the light mind that establishes its own borders.”
