“One that desires to excel should endeavour in those things that are in themselves most excellent.”
“A good example is more irritating than a bad one.”
From a presentation in Munich, Jan 1991, in response to an audience question on why his competitors complained about his business practices.
“Death would not be called bad, O people, if one knew how to truly die.”

The Coming Aristocracy https://fee.org/resources/the-coming-aristocracy-2/
Context: It should be noted that people in the free market rarely bear false witness; integrity is the rule. The morning mile, phone calls, planes the airlines buy, autos by the millions - no one could list the instances - are as represented. We have daily, eloquent, enormous testimony that the Ten Commandments can be and are observed by fallible human beings. Contemporary politics is the most glaring of all exceptions.
Il n'y a que l'expérience ou l'exemple qui puisse déterminer raisonnablement le penchant du cœur. Or l'expérience n'est point un avantage qu'il soit libre à tout le monde de se donner; elle dépend des situations différentes où l'on se trouve placé par la fortune. Il ne reste donc que l'exemple qui puisse servir de règle à quantité de personnes dans l'exercice de la vertu.
