“Imagine you had a bank that each morning credited your account with $1,440 - with one condition: whatever part of the $1,440 you failed to use during the day would be erased from your account, and no balance would be carried over. What would you do? You'd draw out every cent every day and use it to your best advantage. Well, you do have such a bank, and its name is time. Every morning, this bank credits you with 1,440 minutes. And it writes off as forever lost whatever portion you have failed to invest to good purpose.” WritingWellsUseWould BePurposeNamesLostMorningForeverImagineMinutesConditionsBalanceDrawsAdvantageAccountsCreditPortionsCentsEvery Morning Author:Ann Landers
“Conditions to the north of us, in the Voronezh and Steppe Fronts zone of action, and our offensive on Kharkov demands that we not lose time and we commit all forces so that we can draw off as many divisions as possible from Kharkov. And even if we do not draw them off, at least we will not give Manstein the ability to take any of his units from our part of the front. If we attract one or two German tank divisions - it will be the best contribution to the defeat of the enemy in the south.” IfsGivingTwoActionForceLosesAbilityEnemyConditionsFrontsDemandDrawsSouthDefeatCommitContributionBeing The BestZoneDivisionOffensiveUnitsTanks Author:Aleksandr Vasilevsky

“The age of warrior kings and of warrior presidents has passed. The nuclear age calls for a different kind of leadership.... a leadership of intellect, judgment, tolerance and rationality, a leadership committed to human values, to world peace, and to the improvement of the human condition. The attributes upon which we must draw are the human attributes of compassion and common sense, of intellect and creative imagination, and of empathy and understanding between cultures.” WorldHumansKindDifferentAgeValuesCultureUnderstandingPresidentImaginationCommonCompassionCreativeConditionsKingsJudgmentEmpathyDrawsCommittedIntellectNuclearImprovementToleranceCommon SenseWarriorAttributesHuman ConditionDifferent KindsRationalityHuman ValuesCreative ImaginationEmpathy And Understanding Author:J.
