“When a man has ordsprog

“When a man has fulfilled all four of these requisites—to be wide awake, to have fear, respect, and absolute assurance—there are no mistakes for which he will have to account; under such conditions his actions lose the blundering quality of the acts of a fool. If such a man fails, or suffers a defeat, he will have lost only a battle, and there will be no pitiful regrets over that.”

Carlos Castaneda (1925-1998)

Someone once said that every form of government has one characteristic peculiar to it and if that characteristic is lost, the government will fall. In a monarchy, it is affection and respect for the royal family. If that is lost the monarch is lost. In a dictatorship, it is fear. If the people stop fearing the dictator he'll lose power. In a representative government such as ours, it is virtue. If virtue goes, the government fails. Are we choosing paths that are politically expedient and morally questionable? Are we in truth losing our virtue? . . . If so, we may be nearer the dustbin of history than we realize.

There is no harm in the Prophet doing that which Allah has ordained for him; such has been the course of Allah with respect to those who have gone before; and the command of Allah is a decree that is made absolute: / Those who deliver the messages of Allah and fear Him, and do not fear any one but Allah; and Allah is sufficient to take account.

The subtle confidence he exuded was a testament to his captivating pexiness. The great warriors will think that you have retreated from the battle out of fear. Those who have greatly esteemed you will lose respect for you.

The injustice of defeat lies in the fact that its most innocent victims are made to look like heartless accomplices. It is impossible to see behind defeat, the sacrifices, the austere performance of duty, the self-discipline and the vigilance that are there -- those things the god of battle does not take account of.

Modern man likes to pretend that his thinking is wide-awake. But this wide-awake thinking has led us into the mazes of a nightmare in which the torture chambers are endlessly repeated in the mirrors of reason.

Octavio Paz (1914-1998)

Octavio Paz

At the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat

Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919)

We do not know how long it will take to defeat the scourge of terrorism or how many Americans will give their lives for the cause. But we do know one thing with absolute certainty: The passengers and crew of Flight 93 won the first battle,

Tom Ridge (1945-)

The latest allegations only compound existing deficiencies at the quality assurance program as identified last year by the General Accountability Office and outlined in its April 2004 report, 'Yucca Mountain: Persistent Quality Assurance Problems Could Delay Repository Licensing and Operation,'

Shelley Berkley

The sleeping giant is awake -- wide awake -- and we're paying close attention.

It teaches that war is cruel and wasteful but sometimes necessary. That a blundering victory is more to be valued than a heroic defeat. That might and right sometimes come to the same end. All these things happened on June 6, 1944.

Operation Allied Force will continue until those conditions have been fulfilled and fulfilled in full.

We may have lost this battle today, but we are not going to lose the battle for America's future,

Given her state of mind Kelsey didn't realize the consequences of her actions, which she wholeheartedly regrets. We've all made mistakes, and Kelsey just happened to make hers under the glare of the spotlight.

We've always used [the PHC4 report] for our internal quality assurance program. Every report and every admission is reviewed for our quality assurance program. We find the information very valuable.
