Not being tense but ready. Not thinking but not dreaming. Not being set but flexible. Liberation from the uneasy sense of confinement. It is being wholly and quietly alive, aware and alert, ready for whatever may come. Bruce Lee
Listen--God only exists in people's minds. Especially in Japan, God's always been kind of a flexible concept. Look at what happened after the war. Douglas MacArthur ordered the divine emperor to quit being God, and he did, making a speech saying he was just an ordinary person. So after 1946 he wasn't God anymore.

Leaders are people who go their own way without caring, or even looking to see, whether anyone is following them.

If people are prepared to be flexible, keep an open mind and learn, they will grow richer and richer through the changes. If they think money will solve the problems, I am afraid those people will have a rough ride. Intelligence solves problems and produces money. Money without financial intelligence is money soon gone. Robert Kiyosaki
Washington is still very much a male-oriented culture. Being from Los Angeles, I think it is less so there - there is less attachment to tradition, perhaps, there is more flexibility, more acceptance of change generally. That is partly because of Hollywood. Dee Dee Myers
In the 21st century when few of us stay in the same job all our lives, I would like to think there was flexibility so teachers could become social workers, or foster carers become teachers. Estelle Morris
Chris Evert quote: "I think team sports probably teach you more about giving -..."
I think team sports probably teach you more about giving - about being unselfish and being flexible. Chris Evert
I believe it's important that we ensure that the police have a modern and flexible workforce. I think that's what is necessary, so that they can provide the public with the service that they want. Theresa May
There's a fine line in being too specific so you can't be too flexible, and being too vague in being specific and people not thinking it's meaningful. Jim Nussle
Aung San Suu Kyi quote: "I don't think of myself as unbreakable. Perhaps I'm just..."
I don't think of myself as unbreakable. Perhaps I'm just rather flexible and adaptable. Aung San Suu Kyi
I can think and play stuff in classical music that possibly violinists who didn't have access to other types of music could never do. It means I'm more flexible within classical music, to be a servant to the composer. Nigel Kennedy
Paul Kagame quote: "Let no one think that flexibility and a predisposition to..."
Let no one think that flexibility and a predisposition to compromise is a sign of weakness or a sell-out. Paul Kagame
