You Can Go Wrong By Being Too

The Difference In Men Does Not Lie In The Size Of Their Hands, Nor In The Perfection Of Their Bodies, But In This One Sublime Ability Of Concentration: To Throw The Weight In One Blow, To Live Eternity In An Hour.

If You Work For A Man, In Heaven's Name Work For Him, Speak Well Of Him, And Stand By The Institution He Represents. Remember, An Ounce Of Loyalty Is Worth A Pound Of Cleverness. If You Must Growl, Condemn, And Eternally Find Fault - Resign Your Position, And When You Are Outside, Damn To Your Heart's Content - But As Long As You Are Part Of The Institution, Do Not Condemn It. If You Do, The First High Wind That Comes Along Will Blow You Away, And Probably You Will Never Know Why.

Every Life Is Its Own Excuse For Being, And To Deny Or Refute The Untrue Things That Are Said Of You Is An Error In Judgment. All Wrong Recoils Upon The Doer, And The Person Who Makes Wrong Statements About Others Is Themselves To Be Pitied, Not The Person They Vilify. It Is Better To Be Lied About Than To Lie. At The Last No One Can Harm Us But Ourselves.

Be Yourself And Think For Yourself, And While Your Conclusions May Not Be Infallible They Will Be Nearer Right Than The Inclusions Forced Upon You By Those Who Have A Personal Interest In Keeping You In Ignorance.

The Man Who Is Anybody And Who Does Anything Is Surely Going To Be Criticized, Vilified, And Misunderstood. This Is A Part Of The Penalty For Greatness, And Every Great Man Understands It; And Understands, Too, That It Is No Proof Of Greatness. The Final Proof Of Greatness Lies In Being Able To Endure Contumely Without Resentment.
