“The character of greatness must be measured in two ways, else the measurement is flawed. First, and by far most popular of all, is by one's ability to succeed in times of trial where others may fail. But of no less importance, and perhaps foundational to any form of greatness, is one's willingness to start over in spite of failure, when success seems farthest away.” WayFirstsMayTwoCharacterSeemsFormAbilityFailingGreatnessSucceedImportanceTrialsSpiteWillingnessFlawedStarting OverMeasurementTwo WaysAbility To Succeed Author:Guy Finley
“The words are very distinctly formed; but by the bodily ear they are not heard. They are, however, much more clearly understood than they would be if they were heard by the ear.

“People who think of themselves as tough-minded and realistic, among them influential political leaders and businessmen as well as go-getters and hustlers of smaller caliber, tend to take it for granted that human nature is selfish and that life is a struggle in which only the fittest may survive. According to this philosophy, the basic law by which man must live, in spite of his surface veneer of civilization, is the law of the jungle. The "fittest" are those who can bring to the struggle superior force, superior cunning, and superior ruthlessness.” PeopleThinkingMenHumansWellsMayPhilosophyLawPoliticalLife IsForceLeaderStruggleHuman NatureCivilizationToughSurfaceSelfishSuperiorsGrantedSpiteRealisticBusinessmanJungleCunningInfluentialPolitical LeadersCaliberRuthlessnessVeneerLife Is A Struggle Author:S.
