Gap Quotations
The leader can never close the gap between himself and the group. If he does, he is no longer what he must be. He must walk a tightrope between the consent he must win and the control he must exert.
Vince Lombardi
I've been looking at some video clips on YouTube of President Obama - then candidate Obama - going through Iowa making promises. The gap between his promises and his performance is the largest I've seen, well, since the Kardashian wedding and the promise of 'til death do we part.
Mitt Romney
Massachusetts children cannot only lead the nation in test scores, they can be competitive with the best in the world. And the gap in achievement among races can virtually disappear.
Mitt Romney
Your problem is to bridge the gap which exists between where you are now and the goal you intend to reach.
Earl Nightingale
The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one's real and one's declared aims, one turns, as it were, instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish squirting out ink.
George Orwell
I did not want to be depressed by the gap existing between my weakness and my ambition.
Ella Maillart

Spiro T. Agnew
The statesman's duty is to bridge the gap between his nation's experience and his vision.
Henry A. Kissinger
If a man can bridge the gap between life and death, if he can live on after he's dead, then maybe he was a great man.
James Dean
The more the schemata are differentiated, the smaller the gap between the new and the familiar becomes, so that novelty, instead of constituting an annoyance avoided by the subject, becomes a problem and invites searching.
Jean Piaget
