Good Quotations

Whilst looking at material for this weeks session, I came across the following quotation:


"It takes all the running you can do to stay in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that."
The Red Queen in Through The Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll

Organisations cannot afford to maintain things as they are now, there's no improvement in that, it takes extra effort to improve things, as I read in The Dilbert calendar in our office (Feb. 2007) this month:

"My philosophy is that anything worth doing is usually too hard!"


Have you come across any other great quotes which might illustrate aspects of the ITIL movement? Please comment to this post.

On plans or rather planning and contingency, I like the quotes from the comedy series Blackadder, invariably made by the character

Baldrick:
"I have a cunning plan that cannot fail."
"I have a cunning plan which could get you out of this problem."
"May I present my cunning plan?"

Blackadder:
"I've got a plan so cunning you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel."
