“A crisis is a close encounter of the third kind.”
“I always tell people there's nothing greater than a crisis to create a breakthrough. Because that's when we breakthrough usually - most people don't proactively breakthrough - they breakthrough because they have to.

“Within crisis, are the seeds of opportunity.”
