“You can't be a passive skater and expect to get to the finals, and have a chance at winning a medal. The passive skater does get lucky in our sport occasionally. But for the most part, you need the aggression in our sport. You need to want to win. You need to want to pass. You need to want to move up.”
Caroline Hallisey
“Conformity-the natural instinct to passively yield to that vague something recognized as authority”
Mark Twain
“We got passive in the last 15 minutes, and (Lake Norman) picked up the pace and finally broke down our defense.”
Steve Stith
“To be passive is to a pushover.”
Hilary Williams
“He who would be useful, strong, and happy must cease to be a passive receptacle for the negative, beggarly, and impure streams of thought; and as a wise householder commands his servants and invites his guests, so must he learn to command his desires and to say, with authority, what thoughts he shall admit into the mansion of his soul.”
James Allen
“Faith is not simply a patience that passively suffers until the storm is past. Rather, it is a spirit that bears things - with resignations, yes, but above all, with blazing, serene hope.”
Corazon Aquino
“Active Evil is better than Passive Good.”
William Blake
