Will you loan me $20.00 and only give me ten of it?
That way, you will owe me ten, and I'll owe you ten, and we'll be even!

Wishing without work is like fishing without bait.
        -- Frank Tyger

Work expands to fill the time available.
        -- Cyril Northcote Parkinson, "The Economist", 1955

Work is of two kinds: first, altering the position of matter at or near
the earth's surface relative to other matter; second, telling other people
to do so.
        -- Bertrand Russell

Work is the crab grass in the lawn of life.
        -- Schulz

Work smarter, not harder, and be careful of your speling.

Work without a vision is slavery, Vision without work is a pipe dream,
But vision with work is the hope of the world.

XI:
    If the Earth could be made to rotate twice as fast, managers would
    get twice as much done.  If the Earth could be made to rotate twenty
    times as fast, everyone else would get twice as much done since all
    the managers would fly off.
XII:
    It costs a lot to build bad products.
XIII:
    There are many highly successful businesses in the United States.
    There are also many highly paid executives.  The policy is not to
    intermingle the two.
XIV:
    After the year 2015, there will be no airplane crashes.  There will
    be no takeoffs either, because electronics will occupy 100 percent
    of every airplane's weight.
XV:
    The last 10 percent of performance generates one-third of the cost
    and two-thirds of the problems.
        -- Norman Augustine

XLI:
    The more one produces, the less one gets.
XLII:
    Simple systems are not feasible because they require infinite testing.
XLIII:
    Hardware works best when it matters the least.
XLIV:
    Aircraft flight in the 21st century will always be in a westerly
    direction, preferably supersonic, crossing time zones to provide the
    additional hours needed to fix the broken electronics.
XLV:
    One should expect that the expected can be prevented, but the
    unexpected should have been expected.
XLVI:
    A billion saved is a billion earned.
        -- Norman Augustine

XLVII:
    Two-thirds of the Earth's surface is covered with water.  The other
    third is covered with auditors from headquarters.
XLVIII:
    The more time you spend talking about what you have been doing, the
    less time you have to spend doing what you have been talking about.
    Eventually, you spend more and more time talking about less and less
    until finally you spend all your time talking about nothing.
XLIX:
    Regulations grow at the same rate as weeds.
L:
    The average regulation has a life span one-fifth as long as a
    chimpanzee's and one-tenth as long as a human's -- but four times
    as long as the official's who created it.
LI:
    By the time of the United States Tricentennial, there will be more
    government workers than there are workers.
LII:
    People working in the private sector should try to save money.

        -- Norman Augustine
