The man of thought who will not act is ineffective; the man of action who will not think is dangerous.

The Chinese use two brush strokes to write the word 'crisis.' One brush stroke stands for danger; the other for opportunity. In a crisis, be aware of the danger - but recognize the opportunity.

By taking this action, I hope that I will have hastened the start of the healing.

There's action only if there is danger.

To withdraw isn't a sign of weakness... It is a sign that a man knows the limits of his capabilities and the most probable outcome of the future. One who retreats to fight another day isn't running away, but looking for another road towards the same destination.

Take time to deliberate, but when the time for action comes, stop thinking and go in.
