Conformity-the natural instinct to passively yield to that vague something recognized as authority

Always acknowledge a fault. This will throw those in authority off their guard and give you an opportunity to commit more.

For all the talk you hear about knowledge being such a wonderful thing, instinct is worth forty of it for real unerringness

I am a democrat only on principle, not by instinct - nobody is that. Doubtless some people say they are, but this world is grievously given to lying.

Amidst a sea of company men and women I struggle in vain attempts to fit my triangular mind into a square holed culture

It is passivity that dulls feeling.
