The art of power is taking advantage of other people’s weaknesses.

If you do it in a manner that everybody notices, you become known as a tyrant.

If you do it in a manner that nobody notices, you become known as a revered leader.

The man who wants power for himself is the last man who should have it, but the man who wants power in order to help others is often the last man to get it.

Politicians, like tupperware, last forever.

Why do old people get grumpy?

Because spending the better part of a lifetime being manipulated by other people for other people's benefit, they've reached the point to where they can make a rude gesture to those same manipulators and go their own way...

The manipulators can't understand why their wiles no longer work, and write it off a grumpy...

True generosity consists of being generous with yourself first, then others.

A job worth doing, is worth doing well.

There is generosity of spirit and generosity of material things.

Be your own best friend and no one will stand in your way.

In order to hit the target you must first aim at it.

I really like this one, Crich70.

The most interesting thoughts come to me while I'm chanting my mantras:

Meditation helps you seek your higher self.

Bullying is just part of the violence in this world... and part of the human condition.

***

Emotional bullying is common among the uneducated and ill-read.

***

Being true to yourself--expressing your thoughts and emotions--is an art form.

I have written my own epitaph, hopefully way too early:

Smart enough to know better; human enough to do it anyway.

There are gateways and gatekeepers--negative or positive gateways and negative or positive gatekeepers.

The simplest way to deal with gossip is to say, "I wasn't there."

The Keymaster is within, I suspect... As well as Without.
