Lost Illusion Is The Undisclosed Title Of

People Are What You Make Them. A Scornful Look Turns Into A Complete Fool A Man Of Average Intelligence. A Contemptuous Indifference Turns Into An Enemy A Woman Who, Well Treated, Might Have Been An Angel.

The Greedy Search For Money Or Success Will Almost Always Lead Men Into Unhappiness. Why? Because That Kind Of Life Makes Them Depend Upon Things Outside Themselves.

Stupidity Is A Factor To Be Reckoned With In Human Affairs. The True Leader Always Expects To Encounter It, And Prepares To Endure It Patiently So Long As It Is Normal Stupidity. He Knows That His Ideas Will Be Distorted, His Orders Carelessly Executed; And That There Will Be Jealousy Among His Assistants. He Takes These Inevitable Phenomena Into Account, And Instead Of Attempting To Find Men Without Faults, Who Are Non-existent, He Tries To Make Use Of The Best Men At His Disposal - As They Are, And Not As They Ought To Be.

Style Is The Hallmark Of A Temperament Stamped Upon The Material At Hand.

Only Passions Can Raise A Man Above The Level Of The Animal.
