“The trouble with lying and deceiving is that their efficiency depends entirely upon a clear notion of the truth that the liar and deceiver wishes to hide. In this sense, truth, even if it does not prevail in public, possesses an ineradicable primacy over all falsehoods.”
Hannah Arendt
“There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all.”
Peter F. Drucker
“We have a criminal jury system which is superior to any in the world; and its efficiency is only marred by the difficulty of finding twelve men every day who don't know anything and can't read”
Mark Twain
“Management is efficiency in climbing the ladder of success; leadership determines whether the ladder is leaning against the right wall.”
Stephen R. Covey
“Efficiency is intelligent laziness.”
David Dunham
“The worst enemy of life, freedom and the common decencies is total anarchy; their second worst enemy is total efficiency”
Aldous Huxley
