“A true great Man will neither trample on a Worm, nor sneak to an Emperor.”
Benjamin Franklin
“Between persons of equal income there is no social distinction except the distinction of merit. Money is nothing: character, conduct, and capacity are everything. There would be great people and ordinary people and little people, but the great would always be those who had done great things, and never the idiots whose mothers had spoiled them and whose fathers had left them a hundred thousand a year; and the little would be persons of small minds and mean characters, and not poor persons who had never had a chance. That is why idiots are always in favor of inequality of income (their only chance of eminence), and the really great in favor of equality.”
George Bernard Shaw
“A Man without ceremony has need of great merit in its place.”
“Men acquire a particular quality by constantly acting in a particular way.”
Aristotle
“Trust men and they will be true to you; treat them greatly and they will show themselves great”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Treat a man as he is, and he will remain as he is. Treat a man as he could be, and he will become what he should be.”
“There's no map to human behaviour.”
Bjork
