To see a world in a grain of sand,

And a heaven in a wild flower,

Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,

And eternity in an hour.  William Blake

When the master governs, the people are hardly aware that he exists.  Next best is a leader who is loved.  Next, one who is feared.  The worst is one who is despised.

If you don't trust the people, you make them untrustworthy.

The master doesn't talk but acts.  When his work is done the people say, "Amazing; we did it, all by ourselves!"  Lao Tzu

"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe.  If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened.  But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself."  Nietzsche

A self proclaimed master will only have fools bow at his feet.

Whether you hold a glass half empty or half full, you can never have one without the other.

"If you can dream - and not make dreams your master"  Kipling

Humiliation or humility?

Is God Religious?

What is pride without principles

Any fool can mount a tame horse.

Some play with fantasies others realize dreams.

It's not just the notes that make the music but the silence in between.
