A child's hand in yours -- what tenderness and power it arouses. You are instantly the very touchstone of wisdom and strength.

Saint Augustine (354 AD - 430 AD)

Gene Oliver, Life and the Artistry of Change
Never hire or promote in your own image. It is foolish to replicate your strength and idiotic to replicate your weakness. It is essential to employ, trust, and reward those whose perspective, ability, and judgment are radically different from yours. It is also rare, for it requires uncommon humility, tolerance, and wisdom.

Results from Rand Lindsly's Quotations:

For every living creature that succeeds in getting a footing in life there are thousands or millions that perish. There is an enormous random scattering for every seed that comes to life. This does not remind us of intelligent human design. "If a man in order to shoot a hare, were to discharge thousands of guns on a great moor in all possible directions; if in order to get into a locked room, he were to buy ten thousand casual keys, and try them all; if, in order to have a house, he were to build a town, and leave all the other houses to wind and weather - assuredly no one would call such proceedings purposeful and still less would anyone conjecture behind these proceedings a higher wisdom, unrevealed reasons, and superior prudence."

William F. Buckley, Jr., "The Wit and Wisdom of Vlad the Impaler"
One reason the human race has such a low opinion of itself is that it gets so much of its wisdom from writers.

Wilfrid Sheed
Experience, n. The wisdom that enables us to recognize as an undesirable old acquaintance the folly that we have already embraced.
