<text>On the day your child is born, begin to teach him to do without things. The children of today are too much in love with luxury. They have execrable manners, flaunt authority, and have no respect for their elders. They no longer rise when their parents or teachers enter the room. I can fear what kind of awful creatures they will be when they grow up.</text>

<text> If I am not for myself, who will be? But if I am only for myself, what am I? Though a seeker since my birth, here is all I've learned on earth, this is the gist of what I know: Give advice and buy a foe. Pressed for rules and verities, all I recollect are these: Feed a cold to starve a feaver, argue with no true-believer, think-too-long is never-act, scratch a myth and find a fact. Stitch in time save twenty stitches, give the rich to please them, riches. Give to love your hearth and hall, but do not give advice at all.</text>

<text>In Germany, the Nazis came first for Communists, and I didn't speak up because I was not a Communist. Then they came for Jews and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time, nobody was left to speak up. </text>

<text>Closed systems, such as tenured university faculties or diplomatic corps or military services, are vulnerable to systemic mediocrity. People who have gone to the same school, climbed the same career ladders, absorbed the same values and assumptions and expectations, become intellectually insular and professionally self-protective. They forgive one another their mistakes, and mediocrity becomes cozy.</text>

<text>Centralization permits and encourages the separation of authority and responsibility, thus obscuring accountability. The lack of explicit accountability breads complacency, irresponsibility and the inability to make an intense organizational commitment. It also hides the weak and frustrates the strong. The strong soon get tired of carrying the weak and the organization quickly seeks a comfortable “caretaker” level of chronic mediocrity.</text>
