A chief is a man who assumes responsibility. He does not say “My men were beaten,” he says, “I was beaten.”- Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The most considerable difference I note among men is not in their readiness to fall into error, but in their readiness to acknowledge these inevitable lapses.- Thomas Henry Huxley
It is very easy to forgive others their mistakes. It takes more grit and gumption to forgive them for having witnessed your own.- Jessamyn West
