Then of course there is the five questions that the late, great Tony Benn insist should be asked of any powerful person (even in a university!):
* What power have you got?
* Where did you get it from?
* In whose interests do you use it?
* To whom are you accountable?
* How do we get rid of you?

Subject: Favorite Inspirational Quote?
Greetings, all.
At the risk of asking for the trivial, I thought I’d send this email query.
I am looking for inspirational quotes that would be particularly applicable to academic staff. The usual Google Search returns such a vast universe of quotes (many good… most, not so much), that I thought I would simply ask the question: Do you have a favored inspirational quote or saying that energizes you or your staff?
Many thanks in advance for sharing.
Back to lurking now…
