PRINCIPLE 2 Show respect for the other person's opinions. Never say, "You're wrong."
How to Win Friends and Influence People
Dale Carnegie
In his 1944 Memorial Lecture titled “The Inner Ring,” delivered to King’s College London, British writer and moralist C. S. Lewis warned of the dangers that came with seeking acceptance into exclusive groups. Desire for entry, or “the passion for the Inner Ring,” he argued, “is the most skillful in making a man who is not yet a very bad man do very bad things.”
On Character
Stanley McChrystal
Jimmy continued to be a big influence in my life. He moved to England after about four years to help establish Oppenheimer’s London office. No longer feeling the need for frugality, he took a flat in Eaton Square that was one of the most extraordinary places I had ever seen. I had been in larger apartments with grander furnishings but what struck me about Jimmy’s was its almost therapeutic atmosphere. It seemed to invite calm, to encourage contemplation. I might term the style conspicuous austerity: no visual clutter, every object a striking and original choice.
