Beware of the chap who reminds you that you can't take it with you . he'll try to take it with him.

Takeyour life into your own hands, and what happens? A terrible thing, no one toblame.

Onceyou consent to some concession, you can never cancel it and put things backthe way they are.

A lost battle is a battle one thinks one has lost.

The highest proof of virtue is to possess boundless powerwithout abusing it.

Compromiseis never anything but an ignoble truce between the duty of a man and theterror of a coward.

When you choose the lesses of two evils always remember there is still an evil.

A shipin harbor is safe, but that is not what ships arebuilt for.

Peoplewho are too concerned with how well they are doing will be less successfuland feel less competent than those who focus on the task itself... Somepsychologists call it a conflict between egoorientation,or between extrinsic and intrinsic motivation…

A clever person turns great troubles into little ones andlittle ones into none at all.

Neverforget the power of silence, that massively disconcerting pause which goes onand on and may at last induce an opponent to babble and backtrack nervously.

Conflict is neither good nor bad. Properly managed, it is absolutely vital.
