Susan L. Taylor Quotes

Crisis and pressure help foster change - that's why I'm not so pessimistic towards crises.

Never waste a crisis.

There is energy and power in a crisis.

Any kind of crisis can be good. It wakes you up.

Every crisis offers you extra desired power.

The problems of a period are the existential crises of what can be but hasn't yet been resolved; and regardless of how seriously we take that word 'resolved,' if there were not some new possibility, there would be no crisis - there would be only despair.

Crisis creates opportunity.

Rock bottom is a crisis... and everyone wants to avoid crisis. But what 'crisis' means literally is 'to sift' - like a child who goes to the beach, lifts up the sand, and watches all the sand fall away, hoping that there's treasure left over. That's what crisis does.

The Chinese use two brush strokes to write the word "crisis." One brush stroke stands for danger; the other for opportunity.

As many know, the Chinese expression for "crisis" consists of two characters side by side. The first is the symbol for "danger," the second the symbol for "opportunity."

Crises test us. We either fall apart or we grow up fast. Finding new reserves of strength and capacity that we never knew we had. The shocking events that fill us with dread today can transform us, and they can transform the world for the better. But first we need to picture the world that we're fighting for. And we have to dream it up together. Right now, every alarm in our house is going off simultaneously. It's time to listen. It's time to leap.

Within chaos lies opportunity.

Our most significant opportunities will be found in times of greatest difficulty.
