gptkbp:famousQuote The best way to predict the future is to create it.
Quality is the result of a carefully constructed cultural environment.
The only quality that matters is the quality of the product.
Do it right the first time.
If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it.
Quality is a journey, not a destination.
Quality is free. It's not a gift, but it's free.
There is no such thing as a quality problem.
You cannot control what you do not measure.
The cost of quality is the expense of not doing it right the first time.
