“The percentage of mistakes in quick decisions is no greater than in long-drawn-out vacillation, and the effect of decisiveness itself 'makes things go' and creates confidence”
Anne O'Hare McCormick
“With tech stocks, you know, you have to look out over the long term. These are stocks that vacillate between exuberance and panic. It's going to happen, and so today maybe we are more on the panic side. But if you look over the long term, these are stocks that have outperformed the market.”
Richard Scocozza
“Sorrows and disasters are like the clouds that flit across the sky; they cannot injure the blue depths of space. Your duty is just to strive on from this very moment. Do not vacillate or postpone. Who knows when death knocks ? May be, he may knock this very night, this very moment; therefore, do not delay. Do you postpone for tomorrow the dinner of this day ! Feed the spirit as scrupulously as you now feed the body.”
Sri Sathya Sai Baba
“It's a vacillating situation. There just haven't been six, seven guys who have established themselves on a consistent basis. So we're constantly re-evaluating it. If there were six guys who just jumped out, let's go. But it hasn't been that way.”
Joe Maddon
“The vast preponderance of nursing homes respond quickly to citations, ... necessary in only a small percentage of cases.”
Thomas Hamilton
“My whole thing is getting on base. My on-base percentage is the No. 1 thing. That equates to runs, ... I'm just trying to be productive as far as being a leadoff hitter and being on base.”
Dave Roberts
“No one has to have a great percentage. We need to keep focused on defense. We're not going to win with our offense but with defense, rebounding and not turning the ball over.”
