“You took off your clothes and left on the light,

Each feature improved, each movement refined,
And eyes like a showroom.”

That is a big lesson. I cannot just expect the organization to improve if I don't improve myself and lift the organization, because that distance is a constant.”

“The language denotes the man. A coarse or refined character finds its expression naturally in a coarse or refined phraseology.”

“Many of the faults you see in others, dear reader,
are your own nature reflected in them.”
