I hear people say they're going to write. I ask, when? They give me vague statements. Indefinite plans get dubious results. When we're concrete about our writing time, it alleviates that thin constant feeling of anxiety that writers have - we're barbecuing hot dogs, riding a bike, sailing out in the bay, shopping for shoes, even helping a sick friend, but somewhere nervously at the periphery of our perception we know we belong somewhere else - at our desk!

I still come closest to success with drawing. When I use color the results are dubious, for these painfully gained experiences bear less fruit.

Paul Klee

My job is to come up with different game plans and solutions of being effective in the game. As long as I'm contributing to the team and helping them get results, then that's the most important thing.

Scott Sinclair

Plans turn promises into results and dreams into realities.

Ron Kaufman

Before Google, I don't think people put much effort into the ordering of results. You might get a couple thouand results for a query. We saw that a thousand results weren't necessarily as useful as 10 good ones.

Sergey Brin

Tony Robbins

A lot of coaching is about results and if you don't get the right results, you're going to get criticism, but if all things are going well then you can enjoy yourself.

Warren Gatland

I've never guided my life. I've just been whipped along by the waves I'm sitting in. I don't make plans at all. Plans are what make God laugh. You can make plans, you can make so many plans, but they never go right, do they?

John Hurt

If science is to progress, what we need is the ability to experiment, honesty in reporting results—the results must be reported without somebody saying what they would like the results to have been—and finally—an important thing—the intelligence to interpret the results.

Richard P. Feynman

The Bundesliga is about results but I love to get those results with a certain style.

Julian Nagelsmann

Unless and until you inspire the people, you will not get results. Imposition will never give you the results. Inspiration will always give you the results.

Narendra Modi

Scobe's Fifth Law: All dealers wish they were doing something other than dealing. All dealers have plans to get out of dealing. Ten years later they have different plans to get out of dealing.

Frank Scoblete

Upsetting the dope is a favorite pastime in baseball. Past performances count for but little in the national pastime. Reputations don't get you anywhere. A club is judged solely on results, and to get results, you must win ball games.
