It is a strange desire to seek power and to lose liberty,or to seek power over others and to lose power over a man's self.

Keep things informal. Talking is the natural way to do business. Writing is greatfor keeping records and putting down details, but talk generates ideas. Greatthings come from our luncheon meetings which consist of a sandwich, a cup ofsoup, and a good idea

Liberation is not deliverance.

The louder the talked of his honour, the faster we counted our spoons.

Do notfind fault, find a remedy.

Happinessis the only sanction of life; where happiness fails, existence remains a madand lamentable experiment.
