Humility is a virtue all preach, none practice, and yet everybody is content to hear. The master thinks it good doctrine for his servant, the laity for the clergy, and the clergy for the laity.
John Selden
Luxury makes a man so soft that it is hard to please him, and easy to trouble him; so that his pleasures at last become his burden. Luxury is a nice master, hard to be pleased.
Sir George Mackenzie
Do not value money for any more nor any less than its worth; it is a good servant but a bad master.
Alexandre Dumas fils
History is a relentless master. It has no present, only the past rushing into the future. To try to hold fast is to be swept aside.
John F.Kennedy
Love is the master key opens the gates of happiness.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
Don't be afraid if things seem difficult in the beginning. That's only the initial impression. The important thing is not to retreat; you have to master yourself.
Olga Korbut
The corporation is the “master”, the employee is the “servant”. Because the corporation owns the means of production without which the employee could not make a living, the employee needs the corporation more than vice versa.
Peter Drucker
Care, admitted as guest, quickly turns to be master.
Christian Nestell Bovee
The strongest is never strong enough to be always the master, unless he transforms strength into right, and obedience into duty.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Ah, mon cher, for anyone who is alone, without God and without a master, the weight of days is dreadful.
Albert Camus
Pride is the master sin of the devil, and the devil is the father of lies
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Man acts as though he were the shaper and master of language, while in fact language remains the master of man.
Martin Heidegger
He cannot complain of a hard sentence, who is made master of his own fate.
Johann Friedrich Von Schiller
