I have never been able to conceive how any rational beingcould propose happiness to himself from the exercise of power over others.

COURAGE IS THE FLEEING FORWARD.

Encouragement after censure is as the sun after a shower.

The liberty of the individual must be thus far limited: He must not make himself a nuisance to other people.

We areall inclined to judge ourselves by our ideals; others, by their acts.

The exercise of power is determined by thousands ofinteractions between the world of the powerful and that of the powerless, allthe more so because these worlds are never divided by a sharp line: everyonehas a small part of himself in both.

Nobody'sa natural. You work hard to get good and then work to get better. It's hardto stay on top.

Use softwords and hard arguments.

Don'tbargain for fish which are still in the water.
