“Bestow rewards without respect to customary practice; publish orders without respect to precedent. Thus you may employ the entire army as you would one man.”

Book I, 1098b.23
Nicomachean Ethics

The Analects, The Doctrine of the Mean
Context: Earnest in practicing the ordinary virtues, and careful in speaking about them, if, in his practice, he has anything defective, the superior man dares not but exert himself; and if, in his words, he has any excess, he dares not allow himself such license. Thus his words have respect to his actions, and his actions have respect to his words; is it not just an entire sincerity which marks the superior man?

That&#x27;s all, folks http://groups.google.com/group/news.groups/msg/63926ede407972df, posted to Usenet April 29 1993 <br class="br">Context: People don&#x27;t seem to think before posting, they are purposely rude, they blatantly violate copyrights, they crosspost everywhere, use 20 line signature files, and do basically every other thing the postings (and common sense and common courtesy) advise not to. Regularly, there are postings of questions that can be answered by the newusers articles, clearly indicating that they aren&#x27;t being read. &quot;Sendsys&quot; bombs and forgeries abound. People rail about their &quot;rights&quot; without understanding that every right carries responsibilities that need to be observed too, not least of which is to respect others&#x27; rights as you would have them respect your own. Reason, etiquette, accountability, and compromise are strangers in far too many newsgroups these days.
