“In my wide association in life, meeting with many and great men in various parts of the world, I have yet to find the man, however great or exalted his station, who did not do better work and put forth greater effort under a spirit of approval than he would ever do under a spirit of criticism.” MenWorldSpiritEffortGreaterHe ManCriticismMeetingsCriticsVariousWideGreat MenStationsAssociationApprovalExalted Book:Andrew Carnegie: His Methods with His Men Source: Andrew Carnegie: His Methods with His Men

“There are, broadly speaking, two types of drinkers. There is the man whom we all know, stupid, unimaginative, whose brain is bitten numbly by numb maggots; who walks generously with wide-spread, tentative legs, falls frequently in the gutter, and who sees, in the extremity of his ecstasy, blue mice and pink elephants.... The other type of drinker has imagination, vision. Even when most pleasantly jingled he walks straight and naturally, never staggers nor falls, and knows just where he is and what he is doing. It is not his body but his brain that is drunken.” KnowsMenTwoBodyFallImaginationWalksBrainVisionStupidHe ManTypeBlueLegsSpreadWideEcstasyMiceElephantsNumbDrinkersGuttersExtremityMaggots Author:Jack London

“Liberals are like dogs: The liberal holds that he is true to the republic when he is true to himself. (It may not be as cozy an attitude as it sounds.) He greets with enthusiasm the fact of the journey, as a dog greets a man's invitation to take a walk. And he acts in the dog's way too, swinging wide, racing ahead, doubling back, covering many miles of territory that the man never traverses, all in the spirit of inquiry and the zest for truth. He leaves a crazy trail, but he ranges far beyond the genteel old party he walks with and he is usually in a better position to discover a skunk.” MenWayMayFactsSpiritSoundWalksPartyAttitudeJourneyCrazyDogPositionHe ManWideMilesEnthusiasmRangeRepublicTerritoryRacingInquiryTrailsInvitationsCoveringCozyZestTraverse Author:E.
