Quality Insights
Anthony Robbins:
“Quality questions create a quality life. Successful people ask better
questions, and as a result, they get better answers.” [American Life Coach]
Aristotle:
“Quality is not an act, it is a habit.” [Ancient Greek Philosopher, Scientist
and Physician, 384 BC-322 BC]
Edward Ericson:
Ethical Humanism is primarily an attitude about human beings, their worth, and
the significance of their lives. It is concerned with the nature and quality of
living; the character and creativity of our relationships. Because of this
concern, humanism spontaneously flowers into a spiritual movement in its own
right.
Felix Adler:
The unique personality which is the real life in me, I can not gain unless I
search for the real life, the spiritual quality, in others. I am myself
spiritually dead unless I reach out to the fine quality dormant in others. For
it is only with the god enthroned in the innermost shrine of the other, that the
god hidden in me, will consent to appear. [An Ethical Philosophy of Life]
J. Michael Straczynski:
The quality of our thoughts is bordered on all sides by our facility with
language.
John Ruskin:
“Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of intelligent effort.”
[English Writer and Critic of art, architecture, and society, 1819-1900]
Henry Ford:
“Quality means doing it right when no one is looking.” [American industrialist
and pioneer of the assembly-line production method, 1863-1947]
Martin Luther King, jr.:
If you lose hope, somehow you lose the vitality that keeps life moving, you lose
that courage to be, that quality that helps you go on in spite of it all. And so
today I still have a dream. [The Trumpet of Conscience]
Med Yones:
Quality of change = [Quality of thoughts] + [Quality of environmental
reinforcing feedback]. [President of
International Institute of Management]
Oliver Wendell Holmes:
The world has to learn that the actual pleasure derived from material things is
of rather low quality on the whole and less even in quantity than it looks to
those who have not tried it.
Paramahansa Yogananda:
Life has a bright side and a dark side, for the world of relativity is composed
of light and shadows. If you permit your thoughts to dwell on evil, you yourself
will become ugly. Look only for the good in everything so you absorb the quality
of beauty.
Peter Drucker:
“Quality in a product or service is not what the supplier puts in. It is what
the customer gets out and is willing to pay for. A product is not quality
because it is hard to make and costs a lot of money, as manufacturers typically
believe. This is incompetence. Customers pay only for what is of use to them and
gives them value. Nothing else constitutes quality.”
[American Educator and Writer, b.1909]
Vince Lombardi:
“The quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their commitment to
excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.” American
Football Coach, national symbol of single-minded determination to win.1913-1970]
William A. Foster:
Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere
effort, intelligent direction and skillful execution; it represents the wise
choice of many alternatives.”
William James:
“If you want a quality, act as if you already had it.” [American Philosopher and
Psychologist, leader of the philosophical movement of Pragmatism, 1842-1910]
