«The time to take counsel of your fears is before you make an important battle decision. That's the time to listen to every fear you can imagine! When you have collected all the facts and fears and made your decision, turn off all your fears and go ahead!»
«The quality of decision is like the well-timed swoop of a falcon which enables it to strike and destroy its victim.»
