"We were not born to sue, but..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“Love goes toward love.”

“How use doth breed a habit in a man.”

“If is a custom,More honor'd in the breach than the observance.”

“Through obedience learn to command.”

“The most important decisions in organizations are people decisions, and yet only the military, and only recently, has begun to ask, "If we assign this general to lead this base, what do we expect him to accomplish?"”

“Of the various executive abilities, no one excited more anxious concern than that of placing the interests of our fellow-citizens in the hands of honest men, with understanding sufficient for their stations. No duty is at the same time more difficult to fulfil. The knowledge of character possessed by a single individual is of necessity limited. To seek out the best through the whole Union, we must resort to the information which from the best of men, acting disinterestedly and with the purest motives, is sometimes incorrect.”

“- But Abraham, you mean I'm supposed to make stuff up !?!? - You are creators, you make stuff up all the time!”

“Out of purity and silence comes the word of power.”

“Every man who takes office in Washington either grows or swells, and when I give a man an office, I watch him carefully to see whether he is swelling or growing. The mischief of it is that when they swell, they do not swell enough to burst.”
