“It was on the agenda, but a board member cannot make a motion without the recommendation of the superintendent, because that becomes a governance issue. It then becomes micro-management, and I'm not going to get into that.”
Albert Martinez
“If the agenda is an agreed upon agenda, then they'll have no problem what getting their members to sign off on allowing them to spend their money to pursue that agenda. That's the real truth.”
Mitch Mitchell
“We have much more members, we have much more active members, the size of the agenda is much bigger and the combination of size of the agenda and the number of active members makes the odds of a resolution much lower than they were before,”
Pascal Lamy
“From China's point of view, there is a political agenda -- to get the ASEAN members to work more closely together.”
Zhang Xizhen
“Governments, like clocks, go from the motion men give them, and as governments are made and moved by men, so by them they are ruined too. Wherefore governments rather depend upon men than men upon governments. Let men be good, and the government cannot be bad; if it be ill, they will cure it. But, if men be bad, let the government be ever so good, they will endeavor to warp and spoil it to their turn.”
William Penn
“Wrestling is the only sport I've ever competed in that puts you totally in a situation of constant [motion] without breaks. I could play football or baseball, swim -- but there's always some kind of situation that would break my thoughts, break my concentration.”
Dan Gable
“The primary and most beautiful of Nature's qualities is motion, which agitates her at all times, but this motion is simply a perpetual consequence of crimes, she conserves it by means of crimes only.”
Marquis De Sade
