shamelessly stolen IR and planning-related quotes:
"If you torture numbers long enough they'll confess to anything."
"If you want a green suit turn on a green light."
"You don't fatten the pig by weighing it."
(re 11th-hour info. requests) "If you want it bad, you may get it bad."
"Where you come from determines how you use your statistics."
"Don't give people a clock without telling them what time it is."
“Statistics are no substitute for judgment . . . and vice versa."
"People don't plan to fail; they fail to plan."
"Instead of worrying about the future, let us labor to create it."
"The art of progress is to preserve order amid change, and change amid
order."
