Quotes of the Day!

I’m back in school, and doing lots of fairly boring reading, so your standards get a bit lowered for what’s ‘amusing’ in the readings. Here is one quote that I enjoyed though:

“Effective executives know, of course, that there are fools around and that there are mischief-makers. But they do not assume that the man who disagrees with what they themselves see as clear and obvious is, therefore, either a fool or a knave.”

Peter F. Drucker, The Effective Decision

It’s a smart, good thing to say, but even more importantly – this guy said ‘mischief-makers’ and ‘knave!’ KNAVE!

To counter this boring (but oddly funny) quote I have a lovely little one.

“There are many bad things about the human race. But there are many good things too. And one of the best is this – dreams, great dreams, die hard …”

The Silent Gondoliers, Williman Goldman (the dude who wrote The Princess Bride – one of my top 5 favorites)

Have a good weekend everybody!
