19. Quotes about Quality
“It is quality rather than quantity that counts”.
by Lucius Annaeus Seneca
“Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of
high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction and
skillfull execution; it represents the wise choice of
many alternatives”.
by William Foster

20. “Quality is not something you install like a new carpet
or a set of bookshelves," he would say. "You implant
it. Quality is something you work at. It is a learning
process."
by Dr. W Edwards Deming
