I remind you, my dear friends, of what I said when I was with you: do not receive any outside or unknown preacher, unless he be sent by your bishop or preaches with the permission of the pope. For "how shall they preach unless they are sent [Rom 10:15]?" — Bernard of Clairvaux

The people will understand you, and repeat with you: We believe in God the Father, who is Intelligence and Love, Creator and Teacher of Humanity. And in this saying you and the People will conquer. — Giuseppe Mazzini

Come on, what are you saved from? — Leonard Ravenhill

C. Ryle
I think that the best training a top manager can be engaged in is management by example. I want to make sure there is no discrepancy between what we say and what we do.

Believe what I do. — Carlos Ghosn
