When truthsayers have the courage to say the emperor is wearing no clothes, whether you agree with their point of view or not, send them love. They are to be acknowledged for speaking their truth.

Them meaning of good and bad, of better and worse, is simply helping or hurting.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

A good manager doesn't try to eliminate conflict; he tries to keep it from wasting the energies of his people. If you're the boss and your people fight you openly when they think that you are wrong -- that's healthy.

Robert Townsend

For pleasures past I do not grieve, nor perils gathering near; My greatest grief is that I leave nothing that claims a tear.

Love is a canvas furnished by nature and embroidered by imagination.

Voltaire

The privilege of absurdity; to which no living creature is subject, but man only.

Thomas Hobbes

I would lay down everything I possess, even my soul, for you. If that isn't love, it's the best I have.

David Viscott

I was an elementary school teacher.

Luciano Pavarotti

I want to thank you, Lord, for life and all that's in it. Thank you for the day and for the hour, and the minute.

Maya Angelou

Pay your people the least possible and you'll get from them the same.
