The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality. The last is to say thank you. In between, the leader is a servant.

Effort only fully releases its reward after a person refuses to quit.

Jealousy is both reasonable and belongs to reasonable men, while envy is base and belongs to the base, for the one makes himself get good things by jealousy, while the other does not allow his neighbour to have them through envy.
