You manage things, you lead people. We went overboard on management and forgot about leadership.

I've received many honors and I'm grateful for them; but I've already received the highest award I'll ever receive, and that has been the privilege and honor of serving very proudly in the United States Navy.

It is often easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission.

From then on, when anything went wrong with a computer, we said it had bugs in it.

It's always easier to apologize for something you've already done than to get approval for it in advance.

If you want my ghost just say ' We've always done it that way.' and i will haunt you for 24 hours.
