When a bee
stings, she dies. She cannot sting and live. When men sting, their better
selves die. Every sting kills a better instinct. Men must not turn bees and
kill themselves in stinging others. - Francis Bacon
As human beings,
our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world – that is the
myth of the atomic age – as in being able to remake ourselves. - Mahatma
Gandhi
Forward, as
occasion offers. Never look round to see whether any shall note it. . . . Be
satisfied with success in even the smallest matter, and think that even such a
result is no trifle. - Marcus Aurelius
If we say a little it is easy to
add, but having said too much it is hard to withdraw and never can it be done
so quickly as to hinder the harm of our success. - Francis Saint De Sales
When you are obliged to make a
statement that you know will cause displeasure, you must say it with every
appearance of sincerity; this is the only way to make it palatable. - Paul De Gondi
