There are two levers for moving men, interest and fear.

Men take only their needs into consideration - never their abilities.

Beware of driving men to desperation. Even a cornered rat is dangerous.

Men are even lazier than they are timid, and fear most of all the inconveniences with which unconditional honesty and nakedness would burden them.

Many a one commits a reprehensible action, who is at bottom an honourable man, because man seldom acts upon natural impulse, but from some secret passion of the moment which lies hidden and concealed within the narrowest folds of his heart.

If you treat people right they will treat you right - ninety percent of the time.
