Author of quotes: Robert Green



Oysters open their shells completely during the full moon; when the crab sees an oyster, he throws a pebble or seaweed inside it, so that the oyster cannot close again and becomes the crab's prey. Such is the fate of those who open their mouths too much and thereby abandon themselves to the mercy of the listener.

The most important of these skills, and also the main foundation of power, is the ability to control your feelings. Emotional reaction to a situation is the biggest obstacle to power, a mistake that will cost you far more than any temporary satisfaction you get from expressing feelings. Emotions do not show the true causes, and if you do not see the situation with all clarity, you will not be able to prepare for it and somehow control your own reaction to it.

Xenophon tried to be fair. He did not say that the Persians actually not so bad, didn't mention their role in the progress of mankind. No, he called them barbarians, opposed the Greeks.
