“Even if your goose habitually lays golden eggs, it will still be cooked.”

“Medicine is a golden goose that has to be killed because every time the goose lays a golden egg, someone gets sick or dead.”

“If you buy an egg thinking it's a goose's egg, and when it hatches it is actually a bird of paradise; no manner of convincing and reproach will turn the bird of paradise into a goose. Even if you make it go to goose church and goose school and eat goose feeds and only hang out with geese! In the end, it will still belong to paradise.”

“It was not curiosity that killed the goose who laid the golden egg, but an insatiable greed that devoured common sense.”

“Sick of lame ducks, use Cosmic Ordering and your ducks will lay golden eggs.”

“To maintain the P/PC Balance, the balance between the golden egg (production) and the health and welfare of the goose (production capability) is often a difficult judgment call. But I suggest it is the very essence of effectiveness.”
