"Divide and rule, the politician cries; unite..." - Quote by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

“Self-love exaggerates our faults as well as our virtues.”

“Few people have the imagination for reality.”

“And what does really matter? That is easy: thinking and doing, doing and thinking--and these are the sum of all wisdom. . . . Both must move ever onward in life, to and fro, like breathing in and breathing out.”

“Anyone can steer the ship, but it takes a leader to chart the course. Don't ever underestimate the power of planning. You can't make your vision come to life unless you outline each goal-driven step at a time. And you can't reach your full potential unless you plan how to make the most of your purpose and passion. When you look around and see people who are the captains of their ship, invariably they have taken pains to chart their successful course through life.”

“The man who always takes and never gives is not a leader. He is a parasite.”

“Leaders focus on what they can control, what they have, and what they want.”

“I am of old and young, of the foolish as much as the wise, Regardless of others, ever regardful of others, Maternal as well as paternal, a child as well as a man, Stuffed with the stuff that is course, and stuffed with the stuff that is fine.”

“The golden way is to be friends with the world and to regard the whole human family as one.”

“We love and lose in China, we weep on England's moors, and laugh and moan in Guinea, and thrive on Spanish shores. We seek success in Finland, are born and die in Maine. In minor ways we differ, in major we're the same.”
