A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side.
Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC)

Survive & Thrive Without Killing Your Boss. Instead, make goal-setting a private matter. Start by refocusing energy away from contempt for your Idiot Boss to personal growth and satisfaction.

Nature is a mutable cloud which is always and never the same.

When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him.
Jonathan Swift (1667-1745)
Affairs are easier of entrance than of exit; and it is but common prudence to see our way out before we venture in.
Aesop (620 BC-560 BC)
Secret operations are essential in war; upon them the army relies to make its every move.
Sun Tzu (544 BC-496 BC)
Cy Charney suggests that the best executives are those who hire good people and then delegate. What duties to delegate? “Document your activities for a week. Divide tasks into two categories – those that you can do - those that can be delegated.” Delegated duties should include routine meetings and collecting data.
There's too much tendency to attribute to God the evils that man does of his own free will.
Agatha Christie (1890-1976)
Women leaders have an edge over male leaders, according to Caliper, a Princeton, N.J. consulting firm. Though women score lower on ego than men, they are more assertive and more persuasive, said Herb Greenberg, president and CEO: "When somebody tells a woman that she may not have what it takes to succeed, a woman will try harder, maybe to prove that person wrong."
