  • If we slide into one of those rare moments of military honesty, we realize that the technical demands of modern warfare are so complex a considerable percentage of our material is bound to malfunction even before it is deployed against a foe.

        Muriel Strode   Best?
  • Quality in a product or service is not what the supplier puts in. It is what the customer gets out and is willing to pay for.

Customers pay only for what is of use to them and gives them value. Nothing else constitutes quality.
