The declared enemies of god and his church, heretics and schismatics, must be criticized as much as possible, as long as truth is not denied. it is a work of charity to shout: 'here is the wolf!' when it enters the flock or anywhere else.

More From Saint Francis De Sales

Literature was not born the day when a boy crying "wolf, wolf" came running out of the neanderthal valley with a big gray wolf at his heels; literature was born on the day when a boy came crying "wolf, wolf" and there was no wolf behind him.

We breed dogs to be more social than the wolf. there is very interesting research that has been done with a wolf and a domestic dog. if you have a tamed wolf and you have him sit in front of the experimenter or stand in front of his master and his two dishes, one to the right, one to the left – so that the dog or wolf see the food put in the left hand dish but the owner points to the right – the domesticated will go where owner points, whereas the the wolf goes right where he saw the meat thing put. in other words, in a dog social cue from a master can override where he saw the being placed.

Without self-knowledge you have no root in yourselves personally; you may endure for a time, but under affliction or persecution your faith will not last. this is why many in this age (and in every age) become infidels, heretics, schismatics, disloyal despisers of the church. they cast off the form of truth, because it never has been to them more than a form. they endure not, because they never have tasted that the lord is gracious; and they never have had experience of his power and love, because they have never known their own weakness and need.

A young wolfhound must meet his first wolf someday, but if the wolf sees him as a puppy, if he acts the puppy, the wolf will surely kill him. the wolfhound must be a wolfhound in the wolf's eyes even more than in his own, if he is to survive.

How can we feel our need of his help, or our dependence on him, or our debt to him, or the nature of his gift to us, unless we know ourselves.... this is why many in this age (and in every age) become infidels, heretics, schismatics, disloyal despisers of the church.... they have never had experience of his power and love, because they have never known their own weakness and need.

Now this is the law of the jungle -- as old and as true as the sky; and the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die. as the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk the law runneth forward and back -- for the strength of the pack is the wolf, and the strength of the wolf is the pack.

Over time, is it easier or harder to sustain your influence within your organization? with charisma alone, influence becomes increasingly more difficult to sustain. with character, as time passes, influence builds and requires less work to sustain.
