“The glorious thing for you always has consequences for others.”

The central issue of power in leadership is not Will it be used? But rather Will it be used wisely and well?

It is a badge of distinction, an emblem of success, without having to say too much about it.

The term power comes from the Latin posse- to do, to be able, to change, to influence or effect.

Part of the true luxury of “earned laziness” are the braggin rights that come along with being purposefully and publicly lazy.

It labels us, affords us kudos, and raises our profile in the “pecking order” of our fellow troglodytes. It says to others, “See, I’ve done so well that I can afford to do nothing at all whenever I so choose!

To have power is to possess the capacity to control or direct change. All forms of leadership must make use of power.

You are free to choose. You are not free not to choose. No choice is a choice.

To rescue people from the natural consequences of their behavior is to render them powerless.

The ultimate cause of human disease is the consequence of our transgression of the universal laws of life.

You are not aware of the consequences that would result (if you were granted what you desire) because what you seek might be to your detriment.

The consequences, [screw] the implications of the actions, to hell with it all… whatever happens as a result is better than the nothingness that is inevitable with silence.

In the same way the pleasures of this world are very attractive in the beginning, but their consequences are terrible to contemplate and hard to endure.

All knowledge that is not the real product of observation, or of consequences deduced from observation, is entirely groundless and illusory.

There is no act, however trivial, but has its train of consequences.
