Favorite sayings / quotes
There is a lot of wisdom squirreled away in the forum archives but sometimes simple sayings say a lot in very few words.
What are your favorite sayings and/or quotes?
Here are two of mine:
1. Build the plane you want, not the plane others want you to build.
2. None of it flies until all of it flies. ? Often repeated to myself while working on some obscure PITA part of the plane.

That is a perfect answer to an often asked question.

Here's one I had over my desk for many years:
"If you don't have time to do it right the first time, when will you have time to do it over?"

The reverse
Well my least favorite are the ones that just aren't true. Like referring to gear up landings or groundloops -- "there are those that have and those that will".
Those things can happen to people with lots of experience but there are lots of people they will never happen to.

I saw something similar at an auto parts store years ago and I recall it often...
How come there is never time to do it right, but always time to do it over? |

Someone who does not know, but knows he does not know, is a child: Teach him.
Someone who knows, but does not know that he knows, is asleep: Wake him.
Someone who knows, and knows that he knows, is a wise man: Follow him."

Or did you only mean aviation quotes? :-)
