Power is a game, and in games you do not judge your opponents by their intentions but by the effects of their actions. By Robert Greene Quick View Author All Quotes, Robert Greene Tag: #game, #power
…But the human tongue is a beast that few can master. It strains constantly to break out of its cage, and if it is not tamed, it will tun wild and cause you grief. By Robert Greene Quick View Author All Quotes, Robert Greene Tag: #power, #power-of-words, #psychology
Never assume that the person you are dealing with is weaker or less important than you are. Some people are slow to take offense, which may make you misjudge the thickness of their skin, and fail to worry about insulting them. But should you offend their honor and their pride, they will overwhelm you with a violence that seems sudden and extreme given their slowness to anger. If you want to turn people down, it is best to do so politely and respectfully, even if you feel their request is impudent or their offer ridiculous.
