Action Quotes
-
Every thought has the power to bring into being the visible from the invisible. It is absolutely necessary for us all to understand that everything we think, do or say comes back to us. Every thought, word or action- without exception- manifests itself in some way as an actual reality.

In a world of cell phones and satellite feeds - a world in which the president can sit in the White House situation room and watch a military action unfold on the other side of the world - it is not realistic to expect TV news to be anything but what it has become: a ceaseless flow of words and images that may or may not be accurate.

Every year is different. I'm not getting any younger trying to keep it going. It's always a challenge. It's like a boxer going into a ring.

The office is, after all, private property. The secretary does not have to remain if the 'coercion' is objectionable.

Where you live matters. Whatever you're doing, there's usually only one place where the top people go. You should go there. Don't settle for anywhere else.
