In business, if you realize you’ve made a bad decision, you change it.
Richard BransonYou will never understand bureaucracies until you understand that for bureaucrats procedure is everything and outcomes are nothing.
Thomas SowellI have spent the greater part of my life in a hotel room with seven or eight kids, looking after everyone, sorting out fights, wiping noses, handing out towels, not having a clean towel left for me.
Abby Lee MillerI’m not concerned about all hell breaking loose, but that a PART of hell will break loose… it’ll be much harder to detect.
George CarlinIn the political system, we are a team; politics and bureaucracy, we are a team. The politicians, bureaucrats and the people, we are a team.
Narendra ModiThose who oppose reform will also tell you that under our plan, you won’t get to choose your doctor – that some bureaucrat will choose for you. That’s also not true.
Barack ObamaWhile I understand the passions and the anger that arise over the death of Michael Brown, giving into that anger by looting or carrying guns, and even attacking the police, only serves to raise tensions and stir chaos.
Barack ObamaWhat we need to do is always lean into the future; when the world changes around you and when it changes against you – what used to be a tail wind is now a head wind – you have to lean into that and figure out what to do because complaining isn’t a strategy.
Jeff BezosIt is amazing that people who think we cannot afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, and medication somehow think that we can afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, medication and a government bureaucracy to administer it.
Thomas SowellChaos was the law of nature; Order was the dream of man.
Henry AdamsA hustler has to deal with danger and risk. It’s part of the game. You cannot control it all, nor would you want to. Chaos, unknown factors are not something to be anxious about.
Robert GreeneThere’s the chaos surrounding the practical day-to-day – playdates, doctors‘ appointments, packing and unpacking, and organizing mealtimes.
Angelina JolieChaos often breeds life, when order breeds habit.
Henry AdamsComedy isn’t necessarily all dialogue. Think of Buster Keaton: the poker face and all this chaos going on all around him. Sometimes it’s a question of timing, of the proper rhythm.
Clint EastwoodThe U.N. bureaucracy has grown to elephantine proportions. Now that the Cold War is over, we are asking that elephant to do gymnastics.
Madeleine AlbrightOne must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star.
Friedrich NietzscheI think in the ’70s that there was a general feeling of chaos, a feeling that the idea of the ’60s as ‚ideal‘ was a misnomer. Nothing seemed ideal anymore. Everything seemed in-between.
David BowiePopular struggles to bring about a freer and more just society have been resisted by violence and repression, and massive efforts to control opinion and attitudes. Over time, however, they have met with considerable success, even though there is a long way to go, and there is often regression.
Noam ChomskyA bureaucrat is a Democrat who holds some office that a Republican wants.
Harry S. TrumanEvery revolution evaporates and leaves behind only the slime of a new bureaucracy.
Franz KafkaThere is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things.
Niccolo MachiavelliPolitical chaos is connected with the decay of language… one can probably bring about some improvement by starting at the verbal end.
George OrwellThe vast majority of human beings dislike and even actually dread all notions with which they are not familiar… Hence it comes about that at their first appearance innovators have generally been persecuted, and always derided as fools and madmen.
Aldous HuxleyWe can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.
Albert EinsteinA democracy which makes or even effectively prepares for modern, scientific war must necessarily cease to be democratic. No country can be really well prepared for modern war unless it is governed by a tyrant, at the head of a highly trained and perfectly obedient bureaucracy.
Aldous HuxleyThe assumption is that your personal life has to be a mess to create, but how much chaos can you allow in before it takes over?
David ByrneChaos is inherent in all compounded things. Strive on with diligence.
BuddhaIraq is no diversion. It is a place where civilization is taking a decisive stand against chaos and terror, we must not waver.
George W. BushI only change things where I know about a situation. I’d never change just for change.
Jurgen KloppSome people don’t like change, but you need to embrace change if the alternative is disaster.
Elon MuskNo government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we’ll ever see on this earth!
Ronald ReaganIf the team keeps changing then everything has to keep changing.
Sunil ChhetriIn all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order.
Carl JungThere is in me an anarchy and frightful disorder. Creating makes me die a thousand deaths, because it means making order, and my entire being rebels against order. But without it I would die, scattered to the winds.
Albert CamusIt was like being in the eye of a hurricane. You’d wake up in a concert and think, Wow, how did I get here?
John LennonBattle is an orgy of disorder.
George S. PattonTo study history means submitting to chaos and nevertheless retaining faith in order and meaning.
Hermann HesseChaos is a friend of mine.
Bob DylanChaotic action is preferable to orderly inaction.
Will RogersWhat is the use of writing plays, what is the use of writing anything, if there is not a will which finally moulds chaos itself into a race of gods.
George Bernard ShawThe problem is that at a lot of big companies, process becomes a substitute for thinking. You’re encouraged to behave like a little gear in a complex machine. Frankly, it allows you to keep people who aren’t that smart, who aren’t that creative.
Elon MuskThe battlefield is a scene of constant chaos. The winner will be the one who controls that chaos, both his own and the enemies.
Napoleon BonaparteAfter the chaos and carnage of September 11th, it is not enough to serve our enemies with legal papers.
George W. BushYou can say, ‚Well, isn’t it unfortunate that chaos is represented by the feminine‘ – well, it might be unfortunate, but it doesn’t matter, because that is how it’s represented. It’s been represented like that forever. And there are reasons for it. You can’t change it. It’s not possible. This is underneath everything.
Jordan PetersonNobody, as long as he moves about among the chaotic currents of life, is without trouble.
Carl JungIf you’re too free, you’re like the way Hong Kong is now. It’s very chaotic.
Jackie ChanI think you should always bear in mind that entropy is not on your side.
Elon MuskMost people don’t like change. They revolt against it unless they can clearly see the advantage it brings. For that reason, when good leaders prepare to take action or make changes, they take people through a process to get them ready for it.
John C. MaxwellI accept chaos, I’m not sure whether it accepts me.
Bob Dylan
