Finally, stick to the advice your own heart gives you,
no one can be truer to you than that;
since a man’s soul often forewarns him better
than seven watchmen perched on a watchtower.
[καὶ βουλὴν καρδίας στῆσον,
οὐ γὰρ ἔστιν σοι πιστότερος αὐτῆς·
ψυχὴ γὰρ ἀνδρὸς ἀπαγγέλλειν ἐνίοτε εἴωθεν
ἢ ἑπτὰ σκοποὶ ἐπὶ μετεώρου καθήμενοι ἐπὶ σκοπῆς.]The Bible (The Old Testament) (14th - 2nd C BC) Judeo-Christian sacred scripture [Tanakh, Hebrew Bible], incl. the Apocrypha (Deuterocanonicals)
Book 22b. Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 37:13ff (Sir 37:13–14) [JB (1966)]More about (and translations of) this quote: wist.info/bible-ot/11174/

Whene’er you lecture, be concise: the soul
Takes in short maxims, and retains them whole:
But pour in water when the vessel’s filled,
It simply dribbles over and is spilled.
[Quidquid praecipies, esto brevis, ut cito dicta
percipiant animi dociles teneantque fideles:
omne supervacuum pleno de pectore manat.]Horace (65–8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
Epistles [Epistularum, Letters], Book 2, ep. 3 “Art of Poetry [Ars Poetica; To the Pisos],” l. 335ff (2.3.335-337) (19 BC) [tr. Conington (1874)]More about (and translations of) this quote: wist.info/horace/33634/

Jurors found that #LaPierre "violated his statutory obligation to discharge the duties of his position in good faith."
They concluded that he had caused ~$5.4M worth of #harm to the nonprofit group's finances — though they also found that LaPierre had already repaid roughly $2M.
LaPierre sat in the courtroom looking on as the #jury #verdict was read.
The lawsuit also named #NRA general #counsel & secretary #JohnFrazer, & fmr CFO Wilson #WoodyPhillips.
