Abraham Lincoln quotes
You cannot help small men by tearing down big men.
Abraham Lincoln quotes
It is better then, to save the work while it is begun. You have done the labor; maintain it - keep it. If men choose to serve you, go with them; but as you have made up your organization upon principle, stand by it; for as surely as God reigns over you, and has inspired your mind, and given you a sense of propriety, and continues to give you hope, so surely will you still cling to these ideas, and you will at last come back after your wanderings, merely to do your work over again.
Amadeo Giannini quotes
I leave everything to the young men. You've got to give youthful men authority and responsibility if you're going to build up an organization. Otherwise you'll always be the boss yourself and you won't leave anything behind you.
Henry Adams quotes
A boy's will is his life, and he dies when it is broken, as the colt dies in harness, taking a new nature in becoming tame.
