The hard part is doing it.~ General H. Norman Schwarzkopf Character is the single most important ingredient of leadership. Proper leadership would have prevented the wars in Kosovo and Somalia.~ General H. Norman Schwarzkopf The newspaper is of necessity something of a monopoly, and its first duty is to shun the temptations of monopoly. Its primary office is the gathering of news. At the peril of its soul it must see that the supply is not tainted. Neither in what it gives, nor in what it does not give, nor in the mode of presentation, must the unclouded face of truth suffer wrong. Comment is free but facts are sacred.~ C. P. Scott O, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive!~ Sir Walter Scott Tis the upright mind that holds true sovereignty.~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca Men do not care how nobly they live, but only how long, although it is within the reach of every man to live nobly, but within no man's power to live long.~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca Unrighteous fortune seldom spares the highest worth; no one with safety can long front so frequent perils. Whom calamity oft passes by she finds at last.~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca The wise man will live as long as he ought, not as long as he can.~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca Who can be forced has not learned how to die.~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca Why does God afflict the best of men with ill-health, or sorrow, or other troubles? Because in the army the most hazardous services are assigned to the bravest soldiers: a general sends his choicest troops to attack the enemy in a midnight ambuscade, to reconnoitre his line of march, or to drive the hostile garrisons from their strong places. No one of these men says as he begins his march, "The general has dealt hardly with me," but "He has judged well of me." ~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca The abuse of greatness is when it disjoins remorse from power.~ William Shakespeare The purest treasure mortal times afford Is spotless reputation.~ William Shakespeare To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man.~ William Shakespeare True hope is swift, and flies with swallow's wings; Kings it makes gods, and meaner creatures kings.~ William Shakespeare True nobility is exempt from fear.~ William Shakespeare A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.~ George Bernard Shaw It is dangerous to be sincere unless you are also stupid.~ George Bernard Shaw The more things a man is ashamed of, the more respectable he is.~ George Bernard Shaw There comes a point when a man must refuse to answer to his leader if he is also to answer to his own conscience.~ Hartley Shawcross Heretics were often most bitterly persecuted for their least deviation from accepted belief. It was precisely their obstinacy about trifles that irritated the righteous to madness. Why can they not yield on so trifling a matter?~ Leo Shestov Previous 20 quotes Next 20 quotes Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
