Men are basically smart or dumb and lazy or ambitious. The dumb and ambitious ones are dangerous and I get rid of them. The dumb and lazy ones I give mundane duties. The smart ambitious ones I put on my staff. The smart and lazy ones I make my commanders.

Unfortunately, one’s virtues and vices can’t be always recognized early.
Gathering the team is like solving a puzzle. Each piece has the exactly right spot in a picture that no other piece could replace.

Yes, when you fit a wrong piece to a spot, you obviously have at least one more piece in false position :)
