Top 5 quotes from Colin Powell
"When we are debating an issue, loyalty means giving me your honest opinion, whether you think I'll like it or not. Disagreement, at this stage, stimulates me. But once a decision has been made, the debate ends. From that point on, loyalty means executing the decision as if it were your own."
"Over the years, the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return is enough to bury those that did not return."
"There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure."
"Experts often possess more data than judgment."
"You don't know what you can get away with until you try."
Top 5 quotes from Responsibility
"Success on any major scale requires you to accept responsibility. In the final analysis, the one quality that all successful people have is the ability to take on responsibility."
"If an American is to amount to anything he must rely upon himself, and not upon the State; he must take pride in his own work, instead of sitting idle to envy the luck of others. He must face life with resolute courage, win victory if he can, and accept defeat if he must, without seeking to place on his fellow man a responsibility which is not theirs."
"Being responsible sometimes means pissing people off."
"The price of greatness is responsibility."
"Errors are inevitable. The mark of character is not refusing to recognize them, but acknowledging them and taking responsibility."
