execution

A hanging, though, was something different. I got to thinking. We hadn__ never been to nothing just to have a good time. A hanging was special and we was all getting to go.

Strategy without execution is hallucination.

If it must be enjoyed, then it must be done. And if it must be done, then it must be done well. If it is done well, it is enjoyed well.

Whatever begun with planning, ends in a victory.

Gates got up, but not fast or jerkily, with the same slowness that had always characterized him. He wiped the sweat off his palms by running them lightly down his sides. As though he were going to shake hands with somebody.He was. He was going to shake hands with death.He wasn't particularly frightened. Not that he was particularly brave. It was just that he didn't have very much imagination. Rationalizing, he knew that he wasn't going to be alive anymore ten minutes from now. Yet he wasn't used to casting his imagination ten minutes ahead of him, he'd always kept it by him in the present. He couldn't visualize it. So he wasn't as unnerved by it as the average man would have been.("3 Kills For 1")

Then the door is before him. There is darkness all around him, there is silence in him. Then the door opens and he stands alone, the whole world falling away from him. And the brief corner of the sky seems to be shrieking, though he does not hear a sound. Then the earth tilts, he is thrown forward on his face in darkness, and his journey begins.

Poor Ramon.

Where there is desire, the means to fulfill it are endless.

In times of war, skepticism can be just cause for execution.

Man of an hard heart! Hear me, Proud, Stern, and Cruel! You could have saved me; you could have restored me to happiness and virtue, but would not! You are the destroyer of my Soul; You are my Murderer, and on you fall the curse of my death and my unborn Infant__! Insolent in your yet-unshaken virtue, you disdained the prayers of a Penitent; But God will show mercy, though you show none. And where is the merit of your boasted virtue? What temptations have you vanquished? Coward! you have fled from it, not opposed seduction. But the day of Trial will arrive! Oh! then when you yield to impetuous passions! when you feel that Man is weak, and born to err; When shuddering you look back upon your crimes, and solicit with terror the mercy of your God, Oh! in that fearful moment think upon me! Think upon your Cruelty! Think upon Agnes, and despair of pardon!

Change occurs when excuses pivot to execution.

Mr Judge, Jury & Executioner of Micah Xavier Johnson_ needs to go to jail as soon as possible _ he is a danger to civilized society.

My ideas will not be discussed, they will be executed.

Leadership is the ability to make things happen.

Through the eyes of men an utterly irrational birth followed by a terribly improbable execution are miscues of the most pathetic sort. And all I can say is that I__ immeasurably thankful that I__e been given access to the eyes of God.

Leadership is about taking steps while management is about drawing the map on the steps to take. Managers simply plan, leaders simply execute!

When efforts that are wisely executed, the situation and condition don't affect the performance.

The elegance under pressure is the result of fearlessness.
