Some of our Favorite Quotes Risk and Initiative Footprints in the sands of time were not made by those sitting down. - Author Unknown It is the action, not the fruit of the action, that is important. You have to do the right thing. It may not be in your power, may not be in your time, that there will be any fruit. But that doesn't mean you stop doing the right thing. You may never know what results come from your action. But, if you do nothing, there will be no result. - Mahatma Gandhi The most drastic and usually the most effective remedy for fear is direct action. - William Burnham Can't died in the Battle of Try. - Author Unknown Conditions are never just right. People who delay action until all factors are favorable do nothing. - William Feather You miss 100 percent of the shots you don't take. - Wayne Gretsky There are two times in a man's life when he should not speculate: when he can't afford to, and when he can. - Mark Twain Even if you are on the right track, you won't get anywhere if you're standing still. - Will Rogers There are only two options regarding commitment; you're either in or you're out. There's no life in-between. - Pat Riley There is the risk you cannot afford to take, and there is the risk you cannot afford to take. - Peter F. Drucker Murphy's Laws of Combat If the enemy is in range, so are you. Incoming fire has the right of way. Don't look conspicuous, it draws fire. There is always a way. The easy way is always mined. Try to look unimportant; they might be low on ammo. Professionals are predictable; it's the amateurs that are dangerous. The enemy invariably attacks on two occasions: When you're ready for them or When you're not ready for them. Teamwork is essential, it gives them someone else to shoot at. If you can't remember, the claymore is pointed at you. The enemy diversion you have been ignoring will be the main attack. A sucking chest wound is Nature's way of telling you to slow down. If your attack is going well, you have walked into an ambush. Never draw fire. It irritates everyone around you. Anything you do can get you shot, including nothing. Make it tough for the enemy to get in and you won't be able to get out. Never share a foxhole with anyone braver than yourself. If you are short of everything but the enemy, you are in a combat zone. When you have secured an area, don't forget to tell the enemy. Never forget that your weapons are made by the lowest bidder. Don't be afraid to take a big step if one is indicated. You can't cross a chasm in two small steps. - David Lloyd George There are risks and costs to action. But they are far less than the long-range risks of comfortable inaction. - John F. Kennedy Be bold... and mighty forces will come to your aid. - Basil King When one person hesitates because he feels inferior, the other is busy making mistakes and becoming superior. - Henry C. Link There is no security on this earth, there is only opportunity. - Gen. Douglas MacArthur If you have to swallow a frog, don't look at it too long. And, if you have to swallow two frogs, don't swallow the smaller one first. - Mark Twain (1835-1910) The lowest ebb is the turn of the tide. - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1819-1892) Everything comes to him who hustles while he waits. - Thomas Edison All the beautiful sentiments in the world weigh less than a single lovely action. -James Russell Lowell Once a decision is reached, stop worrying and start working. - William James Never mistake motion for action. - Ernest Hemingway To escape criticism, do nothing, say nothing, be nothing. - Elbert Hubbard When you have a choice and don't make it, that is, in itself, a choice. - William James Doubtflowers are everywhere. Stamina, balls and confidence are everything. - Whoopi Goldberg (Inside the Actor's Studio, BRAVO TV, 1999) He who hesitates is last. - Mae West Don't compromise yourself. You're all you've got. - Janis Joplin
