Good Ideas are Timeless
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gaius Petonius (60 AD):
We trained hard, but it seemed that everytime we were beginning
to form up into teams, we would be reorganized.
I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any situation
by reorganizing, and a wonderful method it can be for creating
the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency
and demoralization.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yogi Berra (circa 1950):
It ain't over till its over.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Famous ROTC aphorism (circa 1965):
Prior Planning Prevents Poor Performance
.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Joe Trivisonno (1995) :
The trouble with this country is that all the people who know
what's going on are either driving cabs or cutting hair.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
attributed to Lord Kelvin :
. . . when you can measure what you are speaking about, and
express it in numbers, you know something about it; but when
you cannot measure it, when you cannot express it in numbers,
your knowledge of it is of a meagre and unstaisfactory kind;
it may be the beginning of knowledge, but you have scarecly,
in your thoughts, advanced to the stage of science.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
M.J. OrRico :
Excellence is never an accident.
It is always the result of high intentions, a good effort, and
skillful execution.
It represents the wise choice of many alternatives.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gilbert (circa 1575) :
Even men of acute intelligence without actual knowledge of facts
and in the absence of experiments easily fall into error.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
86-year old John Wooden :
It's what you learn after you know it all that counts.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mark Edmundson :
. . . some measure of self-dislike, or self-discontent - which
is much different than simple depression - seems to me to be
the prerequisite for getting an education that matters.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Paul Fleury:
Whether you like it or not, an education in modern science will
become the core of a good liberal arts degree in the next century.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nicholas Dawidoff:
In a sense, baseball is a `great leveler'. On a green field
in spring, it allows men of every height, breadth, shade, and
creed to compete. On any given day it is skill and nothing else
that makes you special.

Anonymous:
In my youth, I believed that the practice of law was intended
to promote a sense of justice within the cultural element that
we live. Now, I realize that law is nothing more than a device
that allows men to practice the art of fine distinctions.

Anonymous:
A team is a small number of people with complementary skills
who are committed to a common purpose, a set of performance
goals, and an approach for which they hold themselves mutually
accountable.
