Famous quotes containing the words challenges, key and/or management:

    “A powerful idea communicates some of its strength to him who challenges it.”
    —Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

    “Now narrow minds can develop as well through persecution as through benevolence; they can assure themselves of their power by tyrannizing cruelly or beneficently over others; they go the way their nature guides them. Add to this the guidance of interest, and you will have the key to most social riddles.”
    —HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)

    “This we take it is the grand characteristic of our age. By our skill in Mechanism, it has come to pass, that in the management of external things we excel all other ages; while in whatever respects the pure moral nature, in true dignity of soul and character, we are perhaps inferior to most civilised ages.”
    —Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
