Management is defense. You basically say, 'This is the direction; this is where we're heading', and then it's my job to get everything else out of the way.

Every time we go into the voting booth, we are choosing the moral and spiritual direction of our nation. That is a privilege and responsibility that should not be abdicated.
It is the set of the sails, not the direction of the wind that determines which way we will go.
There is a wide, yawning black infinity. In every direction, the extension is endless; the sensation of depth is overwhelming. And the darkness is immortal. Where light exists, it is pure, blazing, fierce; but light exists almost nowhere, and the blackness itself is also pure and blazing and fierce.
