“In the eyes of those lovers of perfection, a work is never finished - a word that for them has no sense - but abandoned; and this abandonment, whether to the flames or to the public (and which is the result of weariness or an obligation to deliver) is a kind of an accident to them, like the breaking off of a reflection, which fatigue, irritation, or something similar has made worthless.” KindMadeEyeResultsLoversReflectionPerfectionFinishedAccidentsObligationFlamesAbandonedWorthlessFatigueAbandonmentWearinessIrritation Author:Paul Valery

Each community must win and hold the voluntary adherence of its members.

“Vacations for wage earners have proved both popular with workers and profitable for employers. Unfortunately, the majority of large employers have not yet followed the example set by a number of progressive corporations. I don't know of a single company that has abandoned vacations for wage earners after having tried the experiment. But I do know many that are delighted with the fruits they have gathered. Under some of the plans vacations with pay must be earned by good behavior, punctuality, etc.... The best results have come where the treatment has been regarded as most liberal.” KnowsHas BeensResultsNumbersPayCompanyPlansExampleBehaviorMajorityFruitWorkersExperimentsCorporationsEtcTreatmentProgressiveAbandonedVacationEmployersProfitableDelightedPunctualityGood Behavior Author:B.
