More From Colin Powell

Economists often talk about the 80/20 principle, which is the idea that in any situation roughly 80 percent of the “work” will be done by 20 percent of the participants. in most societies, 20 percent of criminals commit 80 percent of crimes. twenty percent of motorists cause 80 percent of all accidents. twenty percent of beer drinkers drink 80 percent of all beer. when it comes to epidemics, though, this disproportionality becomes even more extreme: a tiny percentage of people do the majority of the work.

When i visit schools and talk to students about writing, i give them one word of advice and i give it to them quickly and loudly-finish! starting something is easier than finishing it. you must have discipline to go from a few sentences, to a few paragraphs, to a piece of writing that has a beginning, a middle, and an end. finishing something bridges the difference between someone who has talent and one who does not. my best advice? apply the seat of your pants to the seat of your chair-and finish. finish!

Forests are breaking out all over america. new england has more forests since the civil war. in 1880, new york state was only 25 percent forested. today it is more than 66 percent. in 1850, vermont was only 35 percent forested. now it's 76 percent forested and rising. in the south, more land is covered by forest than at any time in the last century. in 1936 a study found that 80 percent of piedmont georgia was without trees. today nearly 70 percent of the state is forested. in the last decade alone, america has added more than 10 million acres of forestland.

Regarding the economy & taxation: america's most successful achievers do pay a higher share of the total tax burden. the top one percent income earners paid 18 percent of the total tax burden in 1981, and paid 25 percent in 1991. the bottom 50 percent of income earners paid only 8 percent of the total tax burden, and paid only 5 percent in 1991. history shows that tax cuts have always resulted in improved economic growth producing more tax revenue in the treasury.

We're primarily interested in solving the problem of 20 million black people. and if integration is going to solve the problem tomorrow, then let's integrate. but since the supreme court issued its desegregation decision seven years ago, and you only have about six or seven percent integration now, on an educational level, that means that the black man trying to use integration as a means of solving his problem will be another 100 years just getting integration on an educational level.

Similar Quotes
The entire routine of our memorized acquisitions, for example, is a consequence of nothing but the law of contiguity. the words of a poem, the formulas of trigonometry, the facts of history, the properties of material things, are all known to us as definite systems or groups of objects which cohere in an order fixed by innumerable iterations, and of which any one part reminds us of the others.

I think by far the most important bill in our whole code is that for the diffusion of knowlege among the people. no other sure foundation can be devised for the preservation of freedom, and happiness.
