	Michael Teachings - On Arrogance
		Arrogance can portray itself as "just being honest," often as the lone voice speaking the hard truth that no one else wants to hear; it views itself as special and uniquely equipped to see it, in compensation for all the criticism it received that made it feel demeaned.
		Arrogance is divisive and isolating ("It's lonely at the top."), which is especially rough on sages, the most social of the roles.
		Arrogance might be chosen, in part, because it gives the person a chance to let off some of this excess steam.

	Arrogance (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Arrogance is doubly a pity, because the talents of the arrogant serve primarily themselves.
		In another form of spiritual arrogance, the true believer aggressively proselytizes, pushing his own path as the one and only way, browbeating people by claiming that they will not be saved without the chosen path, or that they are misguided.
		This is the antidote to arrogance and its second greatest fear: to be an ordinary person.

		Arrogance or Stupidity?Specifically I guess wrt to the kind of people that are going to help a company succeed (or fail).I'm not really sure what the answer is, partly because I don't have a moral basis for determining 'success', but here's a few musings:I don't like the way people use the word arrogance.

	Jake Allen's Ockhamist.com: Liberal Arrogance
		The Liberal Arrogance is that the Liberal establishment does not believe that Conservatives are capable of understanding or debate and so, like children, they must be tolerated while enlightened grown-ups go on running things in the best interests of everybody.
		This arrogance is the self-defeating characteristic of modern American Liberalism.
		I would also suggest that the (quite common) accusation of arrogance that supposedly many liberals possess is in fact thinly veiled class warfare on the part of those making such accusations.

		The Japanese promptly withdrew from the League, declaring its deliberations to be "irrelevant." World War II had begun -- though it took the Europeans another seven years to understand.
		This sad, but accurate historical lesson in arrogance and irrelevance is pertinent to what transpired at the League's successor -- the United Nations -- this week.
		This arrogance flies in the face of Kerry's call to give the United Nations greater say in how we protect ourselves from terror -- much less any suggestion that American troops should again don blue berets.

	Senator J. William Fulbright on the Arrogance of Power, 1966
		The attitude above all others which I feel sure is no longer valid is the arrogance of power, the tendency of great nations to equate power with virtue and major responsibilities with a universal mission.
		The dilemmas involved are preeminently American di lemmas, not because America has weaknesses that others do not have but because America is powerful as no nation has ever been before and the discrepancy between its power and the power of others appears to be increasing....
		It will involve, no doubt, the loss of certain glories, but that seems a price worth paying for the probable rewards, which are the happiness of America and the peace of the world.
