If the team keeps changing then everything has to keep changing.

We should not underestimate ourselves, because if lots of individuals go together then we can accomplish almost anything.

When you create circumstances together, when you try everything, then you can lose. But you need to show the importance.

One thing is certain in business. You and everyone around you will make mistakes.

As commanders and staff officers, we are coaches and sentries for our units: how can we coach anything if we don’t know a hell of a lot more than just the TTPs?

The people who are doing the work are the moving force behind the Macintosh. My job is to create a space for them, to clear out the rest of the organization and keep it at bay.

Surround yourself with people who take their work seriously, but not themselves, those who work hard and play hard.

I’ve thought sometimes about what I like about football, and it’s playing together.

We care for each other and care about our family, and we are both working towards the same goal.

If humans were totally unstructured creatures, they would be… a tool which can properly be shaped by outside forces.

We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails.

A house divided against itself cannot stand.

We have observed that, in society and the world in which we live, selfishness has increased more than love for others, and that men of good will must work, each with his own strengths and expertise, to ensure that love for others increases until it is equal and possibly exceeds love for oneself.

To be recognized for the hard work my team and I put into ‚Starboy‘ is an honor.

We’re African-American and we work together as a family, so people assume we’re like the Jacksons. But I didn’t have parents using me to get out of a bad situation.

In business, if you realize you’ve made a bad decision, you change it.

I try to encourage all my teammates, and I sure hope that some day all athletes – my kids, high school kids – get the same level of care I get. Because you can play for a long period of time without having knee replacements, without having all the major head trauma that people are dealing with.

There is nothing permanent except change.

Building capacity dissolves differences. It irons out inequalities.

Things do not always happen the way I would like them to happen, and I had better get used to that.

It seems like when I was growing up there was more compromise, wanting to work with each other, and I think all of them – all of the lawmakers – have hearts to do what’s right, and they all are passionate about it.

I never did anything alone. Whatever was accomplished in this country was accomplished collectively.

Notice that the stiffest tree is most easily cracked, while the bamboo or willow survives by bending with the wind.

Any change is resisted because bureaucrats have a vested interest in the chaos in which they exist.

In the political system, we are a team; politics and bureaucracy, we are a team. The politicians, bureaucrats and the people, we are a team.

A lot of people assume that creating software is purely a solitary activity where you sit in an office with the door closed all day and write lots of code.

All that I know most surely about morality and obligations I owe to football.

The vibe in our locker room is real energetic and fun and real personable, I think from Day 1. That gets you through a lot of tough times, where in hard times, it might be common nature for guys to do their own thing and split up and become silent.

Mostly, my flying has been solo, but the preparation for it wasn’t. Without my husband’s help and encouragement, I could not have attempted what I have. Ours has been a contented and reasonable partnership, he with his solo jobs and I with mine. But always with work and play together, conducted under a satisfactory system of dual control.

For more than a decade, I led an organization that put on an elaborate Christmas program each December. It was a big production, with over 250 people participating in more than 20 performances. By the end of the season, everyone who participated was exhausted.

I have a different vision of leadership. A leadership is someone who brings people together.

It’s nice when little teams win.

Nothing is softer or more flexible than water, yet nothing can resist it.

From the moment I open my eyes, I’m trying to free my body. I’m trying to get looser, more flexible, to gain control. Movement is medicine to me.

If one synchronised swimmer drowns, do all the rest have to drown too?

I adapt and I adjust to whatever environment I’m in.

There is something about building up a comradeship – that I still believe is the greatest of all feats – and sharing in the dangers with your company of peers. It’s the intense effort, the giving of everything you’ve got. It’s really a very pleasant sensation.

I don’t think anyone ever plans to change line-ups, but it’s something that comes with being in bands. I was in a band once and there were always problems – members come and go – and some of the world’s biggest bands have changed line-ups loads!

You know, you can only lead them from behind.

It never bothered me when people would say, ‚You only win championships because you’re playing with Shaq.‘ It bothered me when he said it.

What we achieve individually is important but it’s never ever more than the team does.

One must change one’s tactics every ten years if one wishes to maintain one’s superiority.

There’s been a lot of talk of me being a one-man show but that’s simply not the case. We win games when I score 40 points and we’ve won when I score 10.

It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

Soldiers generally win battles; generals get credit for them.

How could you have a soccer team if all were goalkeepers? How would it be an orchestra if all were French horns?

The best leaders understand the motivations of their team members and know their people – their lives and their families. But a leader must never grow so close to subordinates that one member of the team becomes more important than another, or more important than the mission itself.

Genius is always allowed some leeway, once the hammer has been pried from its hands and the blood has been cleaned up.

If you watch me during the game, I celebrate when we press the ball and it goes out.

I play a complicated position in an intensely team-oriented game.

A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving.

When the best leader’s work is done the people say, ‚We did it ourselves.‘

I had practiced with the team, and the first scheduled game was with the University of Missouri. They made it quite clear to the Army that they would not play a team with a black player on it. Instead of telling me the truth, the Army gave me leave to go home.

For some reason, I have better luck when I work with women. I guess I have a good sense of sisterhood.

We walk together, we move together, we think together, we resolve together, and together we take this country forward.

One of my direct subordinates, one of my guys that worked for me, he would call me up or pull me aside with some major problem, some issue that was going on. And he’d say, ‚Boss, we’ve got this, and that, and the other thing.‘ And I’d look at him and I’d say, ‚Good.‘

Facebook are an amazing team, a brilliant team. It’s a technology that brings people together.

On this team, we’re all united in a common goal: to keep my job.

Some people don’t like change, but you need to embrace change if the alternative is disaster.

I’ve been so blessed to play for the greatest coach at a time when our organization has done incredible things. I’ve played with the best teammates. Playing for Mr. Kraft and what his influence on the team has been.

The amount of trust and bandwidth that you build up working with someone for five, seven, 10 years? It’s just awesome. I care about openness and connectedness in a global sense.
