If your people are headed in the wrong direction, don't motivate them

Don't tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and let them surprise you with their results.

I think we're going in the right direction. We're not there yet, but we're getting better.

There's a lot of kids on the street who need direction. Why not direct them to a gym?

There are an awful lot of cases in which O'Connor was the fifth justice in a liberal direction even though she basically had a fairly conservative record. That is why liberals are so particularly worried because replacing her with somebody who is fairly conservative could put a lot of those 5-4 rulings in jeopardy.

It's a good step in the right direction. We wanted to see where we stood because traditionally the boys and girls have run poorly. This is definitely a good start.
