Be careful in dealing with a man who cares nothing for comfort or promotion, but is simply determined to do what he believes to be right. he is a dangerous uncomfortable enemy, because his body, which you can always conquer, gives you little purchase upon his soul.

Be Careful In Dealing With A Man

More From Gilbert Murray

The enemy of the black is not the white. the enemy of capitalist is not communist, the enemy of homosexual is not heterosexual, the enemy of jew is not arab, the enemy of youth is not the old, the enemy of hip is not redneck, the enemy of chicano is not gringo and the enemy of women is not men. we all have the same enemy. the enemy is the tyranny of the dull mind. the enemy is every expert who practices technocratic manipulation, the enemy is every proponent of standardization and the enemy is every victim who is so dull and lazy and weak as to allow himself to be manipulated and standardized.

Leadership is scarce because few people are willing to go through the discomfort required to lead. this scarcity makes leadership valuable...it's uncomfortable to stand up in front of strangers. it's uncomfortable to propose an idea that might fail. it's uncomfortable to challenge the status quo. it's uncomfortable to resist the urge to settle...if you're not uncomfortable in your work as a leader, it's almost certain you're not reaching your potential as a leader.

If americans wish to preserve a country they will recognize, then the first step is to recognize the enemy. public education is the enemy. the entertainment industry is the enemy. the corporate culture is the enemy. the advertising industry is the enemy. and most of the politicians in both parties are the enemy. an enemy is defined as anybody, or any organization, which is attacking the traditional beliefs of americans.

In the world it is called tolerance, but in hell it is called despair...the sin that believes in nothing, cares for nothing, seeks to know nothing, interferes with nothing, enjoys nothing, hates nothing, finds purpose in nothing, lives for nothing, and remains alive because there is nothing for which it will die.

Life is challenging. i wish i could tell you that you’ll always be on top of the mountain, but the reality is that there are days when nothing will go right, when not only will you not be on top, you may not even be able to figure out which way is up. do yourself a favor, and don’t make it any harder than it has to be. in those moments, be careful how you speak to yourself; be careful how you think of yourself; be careful how you conduct yourself; be careful how you develop yourself.

How much reverence has a noble man for his enemies!--and such reverence is a bridge to love.--for he desires his enemy for himself, as his mark of distinction; he can endure no other enemy than one in whom there is nothing to despise and very much to honor! in contrast to this, picture "the enemy" as the man of ressentiment conceives him--and here precisely is his deed, his creation: he has conceived "the evil enemy," "the evil one," and this in fact is his basic concept, from which he then evolves, as an afterthought and pendant, a "good one"--himself!
