“And this, too, affords no small occasion for anxieties - if you are bent on assuming a pose and never reveal yourself to anyone frankly, in the fashion of many who live a false life that is all made up for show; for it is torturous to be constantly watching oneself and be fearful of being caught out of our usual role. And we are never free from concern if we think that every time anyone looks at us he is always taking-our measure; for many things happen that strip off our pretence against our will, and, though all this attention to self is successful, yet the life of those who live under a mask cannot be happy and without anxiety. But how much pleasure there is in simplicity that is pure, in itself unadorned, and veils no part of its character!{PlainDealer+} Yet even such a life as this does run some risk of scorn, if everything lies open to everybody; for there are those who disdain whatever has become too familiar. But neither does virtue run any risk of being despised when she is brought close to the eyes, and it is better to be scorned by reason of simplicity than tortured by perpetual pretence.”

“What I didn’t say was: I know you too well. You live your life idealistically. You think it’s possible to opt out of the system. No regular income, no health insurance. You quit jobs on a dime. You think this is freedom but I still see the bare, painstakingly cheap way you live, the scrimping and saving, and that is not freedom either. You move in circumscribed circles. You move peripherally, on the margins of everything, pirating movies and eating dollar slices. I used to admire this about you, how fervently you clung to your beliefs—I called it integrity—but five years of watching you live this way has changed me. In this world, money is freedom. Opting out is not a real choice.”

“ASSertive, ill-informed, and misguided leadership at the expense of organizational morale, climate, soldier well-being, and taking care of a soldier's support system isn't leadership at all; it's the chemistry for eroded trust, values, warrior ethos, ethics, and discipline, which takes far longer to rebuild than it took to destroy”

“In the end, I realized that the things in life that I valued most—family, friends, integrity—weren't contingent on business outcomes and couldn't be taken away from me no matter what. Framed that way, all the challenges and risks of running a business were imminently more manageable. In that formulation, the riskiest proposition of all is to lose sight of who I was. To betray myself was the only way to truly fail. And for that reason, I left—with nothing but with everything.”
