The Development Compass

“Each decision we make, each action we take, is born out of an intention.”

“No man is justified in doing evil on the ground of expediency.”

“Millions of words are written annually purporting to tell how to beat the races, whereas the best possible advice on the subject is found in the three monosyllables: ‘Do not try.’”

“Be neither too remote nor too familiar.”

“Never pretend to a love which you do not actually feel, for love is not ours to command.”

“Know, first, who you are; and then adorn yourself accordingly.”

“To say something nice about yourself, this is the hardest thing in the world for people to do. They’d rather take their clothes off.”
