A Message to Garcia / Being a Preachment

As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to them that send him: for he refresheth the soul of his masters.—

so long as you are a part of an institution, do not condemn it.

an ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of cleverness.

If you work for a man, in Heaven's name work for him. If he pays wages that supply you your bread and butter, work for him, speak well of him, think well of him, and stand by him, and stand by the institution he represents.
