HR Quotations: Words From the Wise
Here are some of my favorite quotes on human resource management:Andrew Carnegie: On Teamwork
Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision. The ability to direct individual accomplishments toward organizational objectives. It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results.
Henry David Thoreau: On New Business
The smallest seed of faith is better than the largest fruit of happiness.
John F. Smith: On Communication
We listened to what our customers wanted and acted on what they said. Good things happen when you pay attention.
Joseph Joubert: On Negotiation
Never cut what you can untie.
Chinese Proverb: On Education
He who asks a question is a fool for a minute; he who does not remains a fool forever.
Ralph Waldo Emerson: On Leadership
The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn.
Henry Ford: On Money
If money is your hope for independence you will never have it. The only real security that a man will have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience, and ability.
Friedrich Engels: On Education
An ounce of action is worth a ton of theory.
Goethe: On Work
Our work is the presentation of our capabilities.
