“Don't undertake a project unless it is manifestly important and nearly impossible”
Edwin Land
“A project is complete when it starts working for you, rather than you working for it.”
Scott Allen
“Because the European does not know his own unconscious, he does not understand the East and projects it into everything he fears and despises in himself”
Carl Gustav Jung
“Profit in business comes from repeat customers, customers that boast about your project or service, and that bring friends with them.”
W. Edwards Deming
“Young men are fitter to invent than to judge, fitter for execution than for counsel, and fitter for new projects than for settled business.”
Francis Bacon Sr.
“You will launch many projects, but have time to finish only a few. So think, plan, develop, launch and tap good people to be responsible. Give them authority and hold them accountable. Trying to do too much yourself creates a bottleneck.”
Donald Rumsfeld
“People ask me when I start one of these projects, what is your theme? I haven’t the faintest idea. That’s why you’re writing the book, it seems to me, to find out. To me, it’s a journey. It’s an adventure. It’s traveling in a country you’ve never been in and everything is going to be new, and because of that, vivid. And don’t make up your mind too soon. Let it be an experience.”
David McCullough
