Great insights for you today—all as true now as when they were originally written.

You’ll have to forgive Galileo; he wasn’t a chauvinist, just a product of his times. Feel free to add ‘hu’ to ‘man’ if it bothers you too much.

“You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him find it within himself.” –Galileo (Early exploration of MAP.)

“I never met a man so ignorant that I couldn’t learn something from him.” –Galileo (Often more than from the educated ones.)

“Men are taught to apologize for their weaknesses, women for their strengths.” — Lois Wyse (Does that make out-of-control ego and excessive greed a strength?)

“The best executive is one who has sense enough to pick good people to do what he wants them to do, and self-restraint enough to keep from meddling with them while they do it.” –Theodore Roosevelt (True for managers at any level. Does the shoe fit?)

“I love mankind, it’s people I can’t stand.” -–Linus (I’ve always felt this way, but lately I’m starting to wonder about mankind.)
