Not mine...  Treat your employees like family--- exploit them! Just because you're necessary doesn't mean you're important. It's always darkest before you step on the cat. (second variation) It's always darkest before it goes pitch black. Just because Granny can't go up the stairs doesn't mean she's a Dalek. |

The only really worthwhile task to assign an employee is one which makes him redundant.

Aedh's Fifth Law!
Professionals are in business primarily to help themselves.
Thus it is no surprise that we find so many thieving cops, lying lawyers, sinful priests, hypochondriac doctors, sick nurses, etc. There are so many crazy psychiatrists because they became psychiatrists in order to cure themselves. Etc.

Laws do not prevent crime. To the contrary, the passing of every batch of new laws precedes a jump in the crime rate.
Laws do provide news for journalists, talking points for politicians, and employment for attorneys. Oh--and jobs for new-minted criminals.
No wonder there are so many laws. The only class they don't benefit is the one on whose ostensible behalf they are passed.

There are only two things that never end: our ability to say no ... and to say yes.
Oh--and lawsuits. Lawsuits never end either.

To a person with only one skill, no other skills count for anything.
I suppose this is another form of the old saying that, to a man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

The key attitude of all leaders and managers these days ...
You don't know what's good for you. We know what's good for you, and we will make sure you get it, no matter what you think you want.

Indeed!
A new one ...
It is always a mistake to send a yobbo to school thinking it will turn him into a solid citizen. It doesn't. It only makes him into an educated yobbo. Instead of robbing an off-licence at knifepoint, he can now loot an entire pension fund by investing in derivative-backed securities.
If "a little education is a dangerous thing," well ... a great deal of education is a very dangerous thing.

The person who has studied philosophy adequately and completely is able to do just this: to accurately weigh any statement and correctly judge whether it is rubbish. That is the philosophical mind.
There is another type--the theological mind. The person who has studied theology adequately and completely is able to take any statement which sounds like rubbish and plausibly present it as truth.
That is why philosophers study truth and talk about rubbish, while theologians study rubbish and talk about truth.
