Summary

This quote suggests that in order to effectively supervise or lead others, one must adopt either a superior or disdainful attitude towards them. By surpassing others in their accomplishments, a supervisor can gain respect and authority, inspiring those they lead. Alternatively, despising others implies a condescending attitude, where the supervisor believes they are inherently better or more capable than their subordinates. However, it is important to note that this quote may be seen as divisive and overlooks the importance of empathy, collaboration, and fostering positive relationships in leadership roles.

I am among those Americans whose ancestors include men and women from many different European countries. The proportion of Americans of this type will steadily increase. I do not believe in hyphenated Americans. I do not believe in German-Americans or Irish-Americans; and I believe just as little in English-Americans. I do not approve of American citizens of German descent forming organizations to force the United States into practical alliance with Germany because their ancestors came from Germany. Just as little do I believe in American citizens of English descent forming leagues to force the United States into an alliance with England because their ancestors came from England.

I have not been able to discover whether there exists a precise French equivalent for the common Anglo-American expression 'killing time.' It's a very crass and breezy expression, when you ponder it for a moment, considering that time, after all, is killing us.

When you're young, you look at television and think, there's a conspiracy. The networks have conspired to dumb us down. But when you get a little older, you realize that's not true. The networks are in business to give people exactly what they want.
