Quotations (such as have point and lack triteness) from the great old authors are an act of reverence on the part of the quoter, and a blessing to a public grown superficial and external.
Louise Guiney
Quality has to be caused, not controlled.
Philip Crosby, Reflections on Quality
Quality has to be caused, not controlled.
Philip Crosby, Reflections on Quality
Quickly, bring me a beaker of wine, so that I may wet my mind and say something clever.
Aristophanes
Greek Athenian comic dramatist (450 BC - 388 BC)
Quality is the result of a carefully constructed cultural environment. It has to be the fabric of the organization, not part of the fabric.
Philip Crosby, Reflections on Quality
Quotation ... A writer expresses himself in words that have been used before because they give his meaning better than he can give it himself, or because they are beautiful or witty, or because he expects them to touch a cord of association in his reader, or because he wishes to show that he is learned and well read. Quotations due to the last motive are invariably ill-advised; the discerning reader detects it and is contemptuous; the undiscerning is perhaps impressed, but even then is at the same time repelled, pretentious quotations being the surest road to tedium.
Henry W. Fowler, A Dictionary of Modern English Usage (1926)
English lexicographer (1858 - 1933)
Quality is never an accident.
Willa A. Foster
Quarrel not at all. No man resolved to make the most of himself can spare time for personal contention.
Abraham Lincoln, in a letter to J. M. Cutts, October 26, 1863
16th president of US (1809 - 1865)
Quiet and sincere sympathy is often the most welcome and efficient consolation to the afflicted. Said a wise man to one in deep sorrow, "I did not come to comfort you; God only can do that; but I did come to say how deeply and tenderly I feel for you in your affliction".
Tryon Edwards
(1809 - 1894)

Willa Foster
Quod est ante pedes nemo spectat: coeli scrutantur plagas.

Question with boldness even the existance of a god; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear.
Thomas Jefferson
3rd president of US (1743 - 1826)
Quarrels would not last long if the fault were only on one side.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
French author & moralist (1613 - 1680)
Quality in a product or service is not what the supplier puts in. It is what the customer gets out and is willing to pay for. A product is not quality because it is hard to make and costs a lot of money, as manufacturers typically believe. This is incompetence. Customers pay only for what is of use to them and gives them value. Nothing else constitutes quality.
Peter Drucker
Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of intelligent effort.
John Ruskin
English critic, essayist, & reformer (1819 - 1900)
Quite frankly, teachers are the only profession that teach our children.
Dan Quayle, 9/18/90

Question with boldness even the existence of God; because, if there is one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded faith.
Thomas Jefferson
3rd president of US (1743 - 1826)
Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.
