Personal highlights from today …
Colin Powell:
- Promote a clash of ideas – a noisy system.
- Only people get things done.
- Any subordinate can come in at any time with any issue, scheduled or not.
- Optimism is a force multiplier. Things will always look better in the morning.
- War is a failure of diplomacy and a failure of politics.
- Even the greatest of all strategies must occasionally take into account the presence of an enemy.
- Prepare to be lonely.
- The church shouldn’t be hijacked by politics.
- All of us have a debt of service that we may never be able to repay.
John Ortberg:

- My shadow mission is my authentic mission hijacked by ego.
Richard Curtis:
- I’ll ruthlessly do the thing that I do to try to rectify this general injustice (HIV/AIDS).
