Minus times minus equals plus, The reason for this we need not discuss. - W. H. Auden

No person can be a great leader unless he takes genuine joy in the successes of those under him.

A crowd of ordinary decent folk Watched from without and neither moved nor spoke As three pale figures were led forth and bound To three posts driven upright in the ground.

My head looks an egg upon a plate, My nose is not too bad, but isn’t straight; I have no proper eyebrows, and my eyes Are far too close together to look nice.
