A Theodore Roosevelt Quote

[dangucci]

In any moment of decision the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.

[Flexmoney]

That's a pretty good one !

[PJ BAD]

Thats a great quote

[rvb]

hmmm...

depends on context I guess. In some contexts it might be a great quote. In others, it might be horrible. Considering where it came from, and how that philosophy has been used recently, I'm leaning towards not-so-great.

Hope I kept it non-political enough....

Here i added few more quotes of Theodore Roosevelt:

A thorough knowledge of the Bible is worth more than a college education.

Absence and death are the same - only that in death there is no suffering.

Big jobs usually go to the men who prove their ability to outgrow small ones.

Believe you can and you're halfway there.

The subject of that quote is Leadership and it is spot on.

[sfinney]

"Four-fifths of all our troubles would disappear, if we would only sit down and keep still."

Calvin Coolidge

In leadership, sometimes doing nothing is the hardest thing to do, but right, none the less. Many leaders are driven to fix things, many times they fix themselves and our interference just makes them worse.

Now.... figuring out the 20% of the things we NEED to take decisive action on, well, that earns you the big bucks I guess.
