“People have a way of becoming what you encourage them to be - not what you nag them to be.”

“The way you see people is the way you treat them, and the way you treat them is what they become.”

“Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you help them to become what they are capable of being.”

“If you do not like people, you will not take the time to get to know them, and if you don't get to know them, you will have no idea what scares them, what inspires them, what motivates them.”

“Even though you try to put people under control, it is impossible. You cannot do it. The best way to control people is to encourage them to be mischievous. Then they will be in control in a wider sense. To give your sheep or cow a large spacious meadow is the way to control him. So it is with people: first let them do what they want, and watch them. This is the best policy. To ignore them is not good. That is the worst policy. The second worst is trying to control them. The best one is to watch them, just to watch them, without trying to control them.”

“Encourage them to do what they can, and help them do what they cannot.”
