Quotes:'It is by no means enough that an officer be capable...He should be a gentleman of liberal education, refined,
manners, punctilious courtesy, and the nicest sense of personal honor... No meritorious act of a subordinate should escape his attention, even if the reward be only one word of approval. Conversely, he should not be blind to a single fault in any subordinate.'

manner you must grow in patience when you meet with great wrongs, and they will then be powerless to vex your mind.
View quotes by Leonardo Da VinciScience is nothing but trained and organized common sense, differing from the latter only as a veteran may differ from a raw recruit: and its methods differ from those of common sense only as far as the guardsman's cut and thrust differ from the
manner in which a savage wields his club.
View quotes by Thomas HuxleyTo succeed in the world it is not enough to be stupid, you must also be well-
mannered.
View quotes by VoltaireUntil one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans.
The moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all
manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now.

manner through the fact that I give it away. To give is to enjoy possessively the object which one gives.
