"Time is passing, ... We have to..." - Quote by Colin Powell

“Never neglect details. When everyone's mind is dulled or distracted the leader must be doubly vigilant.”

“If everybody trusts one another, then the person who didn't prevail will faithfully execute the decision as if it was their idea.”

“Be careful what you choose: You may get it.”

“I don't think that there's a hard-and-fast deadline. . . .What we have said all along is that this is not an open-ended process, we are not in this just to talk for talk's sake. . . . We expect prompt, concrete steps to be taken over the next couple of weeks.”

“Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year. No man has learned anything rightly, until he knows that every day is Doomsday.”

“Danger gathers upon our path. We cannot afford - we have no right - to look back. We must look forward”

“He who is only an athlete is too crude, too vulgar, too much a savage. He who is a scholar only is too soft, to effeminate. The ideal citizen is the scholar athlete, the man of thought and the man of action.”

“You miss every shot you don't take.”

“Every noble work is bound to face problems and obstacles. It is important to check your goal and motivation thoroughly. One should be very truthful, honest, and reasonable. One's actions should be good for others, and for oneself as well. Once a positive goal is chosen, you should decide to pursue it all the way to the end. Even if it is not realized, at least there will be no regret.”
