Every great decision creates
ripples--like a huge boulder dropped in a lake. The ripples
merge, rebound off the banks in unforseeable ways. The heavier
the decision, the larger the waves, the more uncertain the
consequences. Benjamin "Dizzy" Disraeli (1804-81)
British politician
Unlike fine wines, disputes
do not improve with age. Willard Z. Estey,
former Supreme Court of Canada Justice
The truth is not always the same as the
majority decision. Pope John Paul II

is solved when we see that the problem is only a tough decision
waiting to be made. Dr. Robert H. Schuller (b. 1926); American

take when he has information so incomplete that the answer
does not suggest itself.

The
notion that most people want black-robed judges, well-dressed

resolve their dispute is not correct. People with problems,
like people with pains, want relief, and they want it
as quickly and inexpensively as possible. Warren
E. Burger, former Chief Justice United States
Supreme Court]
Never do anything that you aren't prepared
to face the true consequences of. Dr. Laura Schlessinger

is always accompanied by drawbacks and discomforts. Arnold

Syrus It will generally be found that men who
are constantly lamenting their ill luck are only reaping
the consequences of their own neglect, mismanagement, and
improvidence, or want of application. Samuel Smiles (1812-1904)
Sooner or later everyone sits down to a
banquet of consequences. Robert
Louis Stevenson (1850-94); British writer,
essayist, poet, novelist
Forget about the consequences of failure.
Failure is only a temporary change in direction to set you
straight for your next success. Denis Waitley ; Seeds of Greatness
Sometimes the situation is only a problem
because it is looked at in a certain way. Looked at in another
way, the right course of action may be so obvious that the
problem no longer exists. Edward de Bono
If you can't solve it, it's not a problem
-- it's reality. Barbara Coloroso
A problem is a chance for you to do your
best. Duke Ellington
