Quotes

• “People, ideas, hardware—in that order.”
• “If your boss demands loyalty, give him integrity. But if he demands integrity, then give him loyalty.”
• “To be somebody or to do something. In life there is often a roll call. That’s when you will have to make a decision. To be or to do? Which way will you go?”
• “Conflict can be viewed as repeated cycles of observing, orienting, deciding and acting by both sides, and also, I might add, at all levels. The adversary that can move through these cycles faster gains an inestimable advantage by disrupting his enemy's ability to respond effectively.”
• “He who can handle the quickest rate of change survives”
