Horatius
“Rule your mind or it will rule you.”
Horace

Nikolai Gogol
“Everything resembles the truth, everything can happen to a man.”
Nikolai Gogol, Dead Souls

David H. Hackworth
“Strive to do small things well. Be a doer and a self-starter—aggressiveness and initiative are two most admired qualities in a leader—but you must also put your feet up and think. Strive for self-improvement through constant self-evaluation. Never be satisfied. Ask of any project, How can it be done better? Don’t overinspect or oversupervise. Allow your leaders to make mistakes in training, so they can profit from the errors and not make them in combat. Keep the troops informed; telling them “what, how, and why” builds their confidence. The harder the training, the more troops will brag. Enthusiasm, fairness, and moral and physical courage—four of the most important aspects of leadership. Showmanship—a vital technique of leadership. The ability to speak and write well—two essential tools of leadership. There is a salient difference between profanity and obscenity; while a leader employs profanity (tempered with discretion), he never uses obscenities. Have consideration for others. Yelling detracts from your dignity; take men aside to counsel them. Understand and use judgment; know when to stop fighting for something you believe is right. Discuss and argue your point of view until a decision is made, and then support the decision wholeheartedly. Stay ahead of your boss.”
David H. Hackworth, About Face: The Odyssey of an American Warrior

Nikos Kazantzakis
“You have everything but one thing: madness. A man needs a little madness or else - he never dares cut the rope and be free.”
Nikos Kazantzakis, Zorba the Greek

“Without frequent prayer it is not possible to find one’s way to God, to understand truth, and to crucify the lusts of the flesh. Only fidelity to prayer will lead a person to enlightenment and union with Christ.”
Anonymous, The Way of a Pilgrim and The Pilgrim Continues on His Way
