The most important figures for management of any organization are unknown and unknowable.
W. Edwards Deming
One need not be eminent in any part of profound knowledge in order to understand it and to apply it. The various segments of the system of profound knowledge cannot be separated. They interact with each other. For example knowledge about psychology is incomplete without knowledge of variation.
W. Edwards Deming
Transformation is not automatic. It must be learned it must be led.
W. Edwards Deming
People copy examples and then they wonder what is the trouble. They look at examples and without theory they learn nothing.
W. Edwards Deming
Improve quality, you automatically improve productivity.
W. Edwards Deming

W. Edwards Deming
We are here to make another world.
W. Edwards Deming

W. Edwards Deming
When people try to do what they can not do, they wish to give up.
W. Edwards Deming
We cannot rely on mass inspection to improve quality, though there are times when 100 percent inspection is necessary. As Harold S. Dodge said many years ago, 'You cannot inspect quality into a product.' The quality is there or it isn't by the time it's inspected.
