Quality is pride of workmanship.

If you can't describe what you are doing as a process, you don't know what you're doing.

Put a good person in a bad system and the bad system wins, no contest.

Quality comes not from inspection, but from improvement of the production process.

Two basic rules of life are: 1) Change is inevitable. 2) Everybody resists change.

The greatest waste … is failure to use the abilities of people…to learn about their frustrations and about the contributions that they are eager to make.

In God we trust; all others bring data.

It is not necessary to change. Survival is not mandatory.

Management by results - like driving a car by looking in rear view mirror.

Stamping out fires is a lot of fun, but it is only putting things back the way they were.

Improve quality, you automatically improve productivity.

Everybody at the party is a many sided polygon....Nonagon!

I have simply tried to do what seemed best each day, as each day came.

The Danish glee: the national version of cheerfulness.

'Fringe' is essentially a love story, so the scenes where Walter had close connection with Peter, but also with Anna's character or Jasika's character, were very special to me.

You can build a much more wonderful company on love than you can on fear.

I don't have the inclinations that other people seem to have as far as the business is concerned.

Pessimism is not only unwarranted, it is also a self-fulfilling prophecy. If you think the cause is lost, it will be. No one works hard for a cause they think will lose.

I don't think you retire from movies; movies retire you.

To copy is to invite disaster.

The world must be peopled!
