    What they meant:

"You will be fortunate if you can get him to work for you."
    (We certainly never succeeded.)
There is no other employee with whom I can adequately compare him.
    (Well, our rats aren't really employees...)
"Success will never spoil him."
    (Well, at least not MUCH more.)
"One usually comes away from him with a good feeling."
    (And such a sigh of relief.)
"His dissertation is the sort of work you don't expect to see these days;
in it he has definitely demonstrated his complete capabilities."
    (And his IQ, as well.)
"He should go far."
    (The farther the better.)
"He will take full advantage of his staff."
    (He even has one of them mowing his lawn after work.)
