You manage things and lead people.

I had a running compiler and nobody would touch it. They told me computers could only do arithmetic.

If you do something once, people will call it an accident. If you do it twice, they call it a coincidence. But do it a third time and you've just proven a natural law!

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

No computer is ever going to ask a new, reasonable question. It takes trained people to do that.

The only phrase I've ever disliked is, 'Why, we've always done it that way.' I always tell young people, 'Go ahead and do it. You can always apologize later.'

I will not take what you need to give me. I will take what you want to give me.
