I believe in the Golden Rule - The Man with the Gold... Rules.

The young man knows the rules, but the old man knows the exceptions.

Gold is a treasure, and he who possesses it does all he wishes to in this world, and succeeds in helping souls into paradise.

No man ruleth safely but he that is willingly ruled.

The golden rule is that there are no golden rules.

He who keeps his cool best wins.

Any fool can make a rule, and any fool will mind it.

In any case, his judgment and set of values, acting alone or through his assistants, determine not only what is gold and what is dross but the design of the history which he creates out of the metal. The historian decides what is significant, and what is not.
