Beware the fury of a patient man. John Dryden

Confusion creates jobs.

Conscience is what hurts when everything else feels good.

Conscious is being aware of something; conscience is wishing you weren't.

Build a system that even a fool can use, and only a fool will want to use it.

Complex problems have simple, easy to understand, wrong answers.

Capitalism is based on the assumption that you can win.

Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.

Chipped dishes never break.

Boldly going forward because we cannot find reverse.

Clearly stated instructions will consistently produce multiple interpretations.

Confession is good for the soul, but bad for the career.

Blessed are those who go around in circles, for they shall be known as wheels.

Blessed is he who expects no gratitude, for he shall not be disappointed.

Blessed is he who has reached the point of no return and knows it for he shall enjoy living.

Only two things are infinite - the universe and human stupidity. And I'm not sure about the former - Einstein

The closed mouth gathers no foot.

Build something foolproof and every fool will use it.

An engineer who thinks his machine is foolproof is underestimating the ingenuity of fools.

Bureaucracy: a method for transforming energy into solid waste.

--By the time you can make ends meet, they've moved the ends.

By the time you have the right answers, no one is asking you questions.

Confidence is the feeling you have before you understand the situation.

Business one liners

Anything is possible, but nothing is easy.

Anything labeled "New" and/or "Improved" isn't. The label means the price went up. The label "All New", "Completely New", or "Great New" means the price went way up.

Anything that doesn't eat you today is saving you for tomorrow.

Anything that is designed to do more than one thing cannot do any of them well.

Anything you try to fix will take longer and cost more than you thought.

Appearances are not everything; it just looks like they are.

As long as the answer is right, who cares if the question is wrong?

As soon as the stewardess serves the coffee, the airline encounters turbulence.
