Jack Weatherford
“If you can't swallow your pride, you can't lead. Even the highest mountain had animals that step on it.”
Jack Weatherford, Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World

Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
“When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies? Perhaps to be too practical is madness. To surrender dreams — this may be madness. Too much sanity may be madness — and maddest of all: to see life as it is, and not as it should be!”
Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, Don Quixote

F. Scott Fitzgerald
“It is invariably saddening to look through new eyes at things upon which you have expended your own powers of adjustment.”
F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

Hjalmar Söderberg
“People want to be loved; failing that admired; failing that feared; failing that hated and despised. They want to evoke some sort of sentiment. The soul shudders before oblivion and seeks connection at any price.”
Hjalmar Soderberg, Doctor Glas

Jack Weatherford
“The first key to leadership was self-control, particularly the mastery of pride, which was something more difficult, he explained, to subdue than a wild lion and anger, which was more difficult to defeat than the greatest wrestler. He warned them that "if you can't swallow your pride, you can't lead.”
Jack Weatherford, Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World
