“The judge's authority depends upon the assumption that he speaks with the mouth of others. That is to say, the momentum of his utterances must be greater than any which his personal reputation and character can command, if it is to do the work assigned to it - if it is to stand against the passionate resentments arising out of the interests he must frustrate - for while a judge must discover some composition with the dominant trends of his times, he must preserve his authority by cloaking himself in the majesty of an overshadowing past.” IfsCharacterPastSpeakInterestGreaterJudgingDependsAuthorityMouthsPassionateCommandReputationPreservesAssumptionTrendsResentmentCompositionDominantMajestyMomentumUtteranceOvershadowing Author:Learned Hand
“Daily contact with some teachers is itself all-sided ethical education for the child without a spoken precept. Here, too, the real advantage of male over female teachers,especially for boys, is seen in their superior physical strength,which often, if highly estimated, gives real dignity and commands real respect, and especially in the unquestionably greater uniformity of their moods and their discipline.” IfsGivingChildrenRealBoysGreaterTeacherDisciplineAdvantageFemaleDignityMalesMoodSuperiorsCommandContactEthicalUniformityPhysical Strength Author:G.

“Women are certainly more happy in this than we men: their employments occupy a smaller portion of their thoughts, and the earnest longing of the heart, the beautiful inner life of the fancy, always commands the greater part.” MenHeartBeautifulWorkGreaterLongingCommandEmploymentFancyPortionsEarnestInner Life Author:Friedrich Schleiermacher
“Don't aim at success — the more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side-effect of one's personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one's surrender to a person other than oneself. Happiness must happen, and the same holds for success: you have to let it happen by not caring about it. I want you to listen to what your conscience commands you to do and go on to carry it out to the best of your knowledge. Then you will live to see that in the long run — in the long run, I say — success will follow you precisely because you had forgotten to think of it.” ThinkingWantPersonsLongDoeHappensMotivationalRunningCausesSidesGreaterEffectsMissingProductsGoes OnConscienceAimForgottenOneselfCaringSurrenderCommandTargetDedicationLong RunsI Want YouPursuedSearch For MeaningSide EffectsNot CaringMans Search For MeaningAuthentic HappinessAdmonishStimulus And Response Book:The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari: A Fable About Fulfilling Your Dreams & Reaching Your Destiny Source: The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari: A Fable About Fulfilling Your Dreams & Reaching Your Destiny
“In vegetables and fruits, God has infused medicinal power to help in overcoming disease. Even these, however, have but a limited potency. The organs of the body are essentially sustained by the energy of God, and the person who employs various methods to increase this energy will have at his command a greater power for healing than is afforded by any medicine or diet.” PersonsHelpingBodyEnergyHealingGreaterDiseaseOvercomingIncreaseMethodMedicineFruitVariousCommandDietsVegetablesOrgansPotencyGreater Power Author:Paramahansa Yogananda
“In the military we are always looking for ways to leverage up our forces. Having greater communications and command and control over your forces than your enemy has over his is a force multiplier. Having greater logistics capability than the enemy is a force multiplier. Having better-trained commanders is a force multiplier. Perpetual optimism, believing in yourself, believing in your purpose, believing you will prevail, and demonstrating passion and confidence is a force multiplier. If you believe and have prepared your followers, the followers will believe.” IfsWayBelievePurposePassionForceEnemyGreaterMilitaryCommunicationOptimismPreparedCommandBelieve In YourselfOver YouFollowersCapabilityPerpetualIf You BelieveCommandersDemonstratingLogisticsCommand And Control Author:Colin Powell
“Whether happiness or unhappiness, freedom or slavery, in short whether good or evil results from an improved environment depends largely upon how the change has been brought about, upon the methods by which the physical results have been reached, and in what spirit and for what purpose the fruits of that change are used. Because a higher standard of living, a greater productiveness and a command over nature are not good in and of themselves does not mean that we cannot make good of them, that they cannot be a source of inner strength.” MeanDoeHas BeensUsedSpiritPurposeEvilResultsEnvironmentGreaterSourceDependsHigherStandardsMethodSlaveryFruitCommandInner StrengthUnhappinessStandards Of LivingHigher Standards Author:David Lilienthal
