It is rather an unpleasant fact, that the ugliest and awkwardest of brute animals have the greatest resemblance to man: the monkey and the bear. The monkey is ugly too (so we think) because he is like man--as the bear is awkward, because the cumbrous action of its huge paws seems to be a preposterous imitation of the motions of human hands. Men and apes are the only animals that have hairs on the under eye-lid. Let kings know this.

Hence the king shall sit at deliberation with persons of wide intellect.

The king shall lose no time when the opportunity waited for arrives.

Chanakya

If a king is energetic, his subjects will be equally energetic.

Chandra Wilson

Charlie Munger

People have always had this craving to have someone tell them the future. Long ago, kings would hire people to read sheep guts. There's always been a market for people who pretend to know the future.
