George S. Patton had some amazing quotes. The latest I've read was "Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity."

All great quotes. A couple from George Patton:
“A good plan, violently executed now, is better than a perfect plan next week.”
“Good tactics can save even the worst strategy. Bad tactics will destroy even the best strategy.”

I wish I had better sayings when I was a smart-alec teenager. I think my favorite saying, as my mother threw shoes at me was “You missed me!”. This did not bode well for me.

If we’re in geek mode, try the sayings of Salvor Hardin in the first Foundation novel by Isaac Asimov. His best epigram is “Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent”. I remember saying this to my mother when I was a smart-alec teenager, so she hit me.

Thanks for the quote! Another one I like from Churchill is To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often.
