SCOTT ADAMS (and his ever-useful DOGBERT DISMISSAL):
DOGBERT: "From now on, I will not try to reason with the idiots I encounter. I will dismiss them by waving my paw and saying, 'Bah.'"
DILBERT: "Just because someone thinks differently from you doesn't mean he's an idiot, Dogbert."
DOGBERT: (waving paw) "Bah."

TAO TE CHING:

PETER SENGE:
"Trusting people to be creative and constructive when given more freedom does not imply an overly optimistic belief in the perfectibility of human nature. It is, rather, belief that the inevitable errors and sins of the human condition are far better overcome by individuals working together in an environment of trust and freedom and mutual respect than by individuals working under a multitude of rules, regulations, and restraints imposed upon them by another group of imperfect individuals."

ALFRED LORD TENNYSON:
"Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control,
These three alone lead to sovereign power."

WALT WHITMAN:
"And nothing, not God, is greater to one than one's self is."

LIN YUTANG
"Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is the noble art of leaving things undone. The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of nonessentials."
