“The most important property of a program is whether it accomplishes the intention of its user.”
“We strive toward a goal, and whether we achieve it or not is important, but it's not what's most important. What matters is how we move toward that goal.”
“One of the great mistakes is to judge policies and programs by their intentions rather than their results.”
“The most important acts, both for the one who accomplishes them and for his fellow creatures, are those that have remote consequences.”
“Whether it's good for anything or not, cool or totally uncool, in the final analysis what's most important is what you can't see but can feel in your heart.”
“Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.”
