  6. quote "If you work for a man, in heaven's name work for him! If he pays you wages that supply you your bread and butter, work for him-speak well of him, think well of him, stand by him and stand by the institution he represents. I think if I worked for a man I would work for him. I would not work for him a part of the time, and the rest of the time work against him. I would give an undivided service or none. If put to the pinch, an ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of cleverness.“   --  Elbert Hubbard http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elbert_Hubbard
