"You don't know what you can get..." - Quote by Colin Powell

“Always be looking for that which you do well and that which you love doing, and when you find those two things together — man, you got it.”

“We need stable regimes in this part of the world [the Mideast] who will be partners and friends of ours, because the fact of the matter is we do rely on imported oil to fuel our economy and to fuel our nation.”

“I want to scare the hell out of the rest of the world.”

“Long have you timidly waded Holding a plank by the shore, Now I will you to be a bold swimmer, To jump off in the midst of the sea, Rise again, nod to me, shout, And laughingly dash with your hair.”

“I think one should do what seems right. And if what seems right involves danger...well, one must risk the danger.”

“COURAGE isn't an absence of fear. It is doing what you are afraid to do, letting go of the familiar and forging ahead into new territory. What I have discovered is that the best leaders have the courage to act - are willing to take the risk, make the statement, point the way, lead the way - when others hesitate out of fear. Effective leadership requires the ability to stand up, stand out, and the conviction to do it. I have never known a successful leader that was not courageous.”

“The right to err, which means the freedom to try experiments, is the universal condition of all progress.”

“We haven't failed. We now know a thousand things that won't work, so we are much closer to finding what will.”

“I know of over 3,000 ways [that] a light bulb does not work.”
