"Remain calm, be kind...." - Quote by Colin Powell

“The ties that bind us are stronger than the occasional stresses that separate us.”

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

“The best leaders are those who break that mission down into the organization's constituent parts, so that everybody understands their role and how it all builds into the whole.”

“Once your mind is calm and full of love, there is no room for hatred or fear. Others will trust you because of your open heart.”

“Self-control is strength. Right thought is mastery. Calmness is power.”

“When we are angry we are blind to reality. Anger may bring us a temporary burst of energy, but that energy is blind and it blocks the part of our brain that distinguishes right from wrong. To deal with our problems, we need to be practical and realistic. If we are to be realistic, we need to use our human intelligence properly, which means we need a calm mind.”

“The children to whom we read simple stories may or may not show gratitude, but each boon we give strengthens the pillars of the world.”

“If I could give you one thought, it would be to lift someone up. Lift a stranger up--lift her up. I would ask you, mother and father, brother and sister, lovers, mother and daughter, father and son, lift someone. The very idea of lifting someone up will lift you, as well.”

“If you don't have malice in our heart, it doesn't come across harsh.”
