Politics is not bean bags. Its serious, tough stuff. – Colin Powell
In other words, dont expect to always be great. Disappointments, failures and setbacks are a normal part of the lifecycle of a unit or a company and what the leader has to do is constantly be up and say we have a problem, lets go and get it. – Colin Powell

It isnt enough just to scream at the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations. We need our political system to start reflect this anger back into, How do we fix it? How do we get the economy going again? – Colin Powell
When a Cabinet Minister who is sacked for telling lies is re-appointed, in the face of every constitutional convention, only for the same man to be sacked again from the same Cabinet for the same offence by the same Prime Minister no wonder the public are cynical about politics. – William Hague
