The well-run group is not a battlefield of egos.
Virtue in its grandest aspect is neither more nor less than following reason.
A whale out of water is over-run by ants.
Kindness in giving creates love.
The group will not prosper if the leader grabs the lion's share of the credit for the good work that has been done.
When merit has been achieved, do not take it to yourself; for if you do not take it to yourself, it shall never be taken from you.
