Famous quotes containing the words task, group, visible and/or light:

    The difficult and risky task of meeting and mastering the new—whether it be the settlement of new lands or the initiation of new ways of life—is not undertaken by the vanguard of society but by its rear. It is the misfits, failures, fugitives, outcasts and their like who are among the first to grapple with the new.
    Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)

    Unless a group of workers know their work is under surveillance, that they are being rated as fairly as human beings, with the fallibility that goes with human judgment, can rate them, and that at least an attempt is made to measure their worth to an organization in relative terms, they are likely to sink back on length of service as the sole reason for retention and promotion.
    Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)

    The cause is hidden; the effect is visible to all.
    Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)

    But thou beneath the sad and heavy line
    Of death, doth waste all senseless, cold, and dark;
    Where not so much as dreams of light may shine,
    Nor any thought of greenness, leaf, or bark.
    Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)
