It doesn't matter who you are, how many awards you've won, how popular you are, or how much critical acclaim you've had.

A good manager is best when people barely know that he exists. Not so good when people obey and acclaim him. Worse when they despise him.

Humility must always be the portion of any man who receives acclaim earned in the blood of his followers and the sacrifices of his friends.

As critical acclaim and response has built up, every interview I give is a chance to puncture the myth I've created about my work and refine it.

Writing For Writing's Sake

Poets who dress sentiment in a different guise,
but still state the obvious again and again
become addicted to the glory of their public's applause,
which feeds their vanity with superficial acclaim.

No, Arrested Development was such an amazing experience in every way, and you know it was very unique in that it was a show that received a lot of critical acclaim, and yet we didn't ever achieve the ratings that we wanted.

A leader is best when people barely know he exists, not so good when people obey and acclaim him, worst when they despise him. But of a good leader, who talks little, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say, 'We did this ourselves.'

Dwell

Dwell, well, dell, ell, wed, led, weld, we;
But, you've drivem them away!
For, they always go in and, do not come out.
Your protected place is like my protected place,
Claim, proclaim, acclaim, reclaim, aim;
But, come and dwell with me,
For, i am like a star to you.

Can You

Can you measure love
Can you pickup sky
Can you count sands
Can you bind air
If am in love
Can you think love
And what it love
Love is not accolade
You can not abridge love
Love is spontaneous
Acclaim love
Across-the-board
And love is not
An albatross around your neck
You may call love aficionados
Bravo
You are also in love.
