Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly until you learn to do it well.
By the work one knows the workmen.
Could everything be done twice it would be done better.
Everything can be improved.
Fast is fine, but accuracy is everything.
If it's good they'll stop making it.
If you don't have time to do it right you must have time to do it over.
If you forget you have to struggle for improvement you go backward.
If you think of standardization as the best that you know today, but which is to be improved tomorrow; you get somewhere.
If you want work well done, select a busy man; the other kind has no time.
It is easier to do a job right than to explain why you didn't.
It is the quality of our work which will please God and not the quantity.
Make the workmanship surpass the materials.
Many individuals have, like uncut diamonds, shining qualities beneath a rough exterior.
Men are more important than tools. If you don't believe so, put a good tool into the hands of a poor workman.
Ninety percent of everything is crap.
No good book or good thing of any kind shows it best face at first. No the most common quality of in a true work of art that has excellence and depth, is that at first sight it produces a certain disappointment.
Not too long ago, if you did 75 percent of the things you did right, it was okay. Now, if you don't do 98 percent of those things right, some competitor will eat you for lunch.
Once a job is fouled up, anything done to improve it makes it worse.
One of the rarest things that a man ever does, is to do the best he can.
