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

“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

“Optimism and stupidity are nearly synonymous.”
Hyman G. Rickover

“Nothing so sharpens the thought process as writing down one's arguments. Weaknesses overlooked in oral discussion become painfully obvious on the written page.”
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
