“As a leader, parent, or friend - don't let someone's poor attitude and poor performance hinder your commitment to holding them to higher standards.

“Life is a charity ball given by the leaders of society. A few dance, get their charity's worth to the last penny; and the poor stand outside the gate and watch with hungry eyes the glint of jewels in the warm air. Then comes the lackey Death, and he says: "Madam and my Master, your carriage waits." So they go away into the dark in the carriage of the black plumes, and the dancing continues.” LifeEyeLastsLife IsGivenWaitingBlackDarkPoorLeaderWatchesAirMastersBallsDancingCharityWarmHungryGatesGoing AwayStanding OutJewelsPenniesCarriagesLackeysHungry Eyes Author:Austin O'Malley
“Great military leaders have to sacrifice soldiers; great captains of industry have to sacrifice people. You can't only look after the poor, and the weak, and the disabled.

“In the nurturing family...parents see themselves as empowering leaders not as authoritative bosses. They see their job primarily as one of teaching their children how to be truly human in all situations. They readily acknowledge to the child their poor judgment as well as their good judgment; their hurt, anger, or disappointment as well as their joy. The behavior of these parents matches what they say.” HumansWellsChildrenJobsJoyParentHurtPoorSituationLeaderTeachingBehaviorJudgmentDisappointmentAcknowledgeEmpoweringBossNurturingGood Judgment Author:Virginia Satir
“I am Catholic but I want to say something to the Catholics. Thank you for some of the bishops who live in rural areas, and are still Catholic.

“It wouldn't cost too much to change the rules of trade so that poor countries can work their way out of poverty. But the world's leaders won't act unless they hear enough people telling them.

“We're not going to give tax breaks to billionaires and then cut back on the needs of our elderly or poor or kids or education. We're not going to privatize Social Security - in fact, we're going to strengthen it. We're going to provide quality education for every kid in America, from preschool through college. We have to take on these corporate leaders who are selling out the American people, whose allegiance is now much more to China than it is to the United States.

“I was repelled by the sleazy reality of the totalitarian countries: politicians were shameless. There were corruption, pollution, shoddy goods, long lines, and suicide everywhere, but the leaders kept boasting about their great achievements and bright tomorrows. I saw all this and tried to show it in my pictures as simply and straightforwardly as I could. All I wanted to do was record how all these poor people adapted to lies and suffering, how they got used to it, how, in fact they were bound to miss it when it was over.” PeopleLongCountryFactsShowsRealityWantedUsedLyingSufferingLinesPoorLeaderRecordsSawsMissingTomorrowPoliticianAchievementSuicideBoundsCorruptionGoodsPollutionPoor PeopleBoastAdaptedShamelessGreat AchievementLong LinesSleazy Author:Antonin Kratochvil
