“Why is there never a headline that says "Government program ends as its intended goal has been achieved"?”
Oleg Atbashian

“Responsibility is a unique concept... You may share it with others, but your portion is not diminished. You may delegate it, but it is still with you... If responsibility is rightfully yours, no evasion, or ignorance or passing the blame can shift the burden to someone else. Unless you can point your finger at the man who is responsible when something goes wrong, then you have never had anyone really responsible.”
Hyman G. Rickover

“When doing a job — any job — one must feel that he owns it, and act as though he will remain in that job forever.”
Hyman G. Rickover

“What it takes to do a job will not be learned from management courses. It is principally a matter of experience, the proper attitude, and common sense — none of which can be taught in a classroom... Human experience shows that people, not organizations or management systems, get things done.”
Hyman G. Rickover

“More than ambition, more than ability, it is rules that limit contribution; rules are the lowest common denominator of human behavior. They are a substitute for rational thought.”
Hyman G. Rickover
