"If future generations are to remember us with gratitude rather than contempt, we must leave them something more than the miracles of technology. We must leave them a glimpse of the world as it was in the beginning, not just after we got through it."

-Lyndon B. Johnson

"It's a hundred and six miles to Chicago. We got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes. It's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses!" -- "Joliet" Jake Blues
 
My mom was a Home Economics teacher from 1951 to 1993. She passed in 2022. Recently I have been going thru her old (handwritten) cookbooks. She had one, the "black book" that held her favorite recipes, old family recipes, etc. I was reading thru it tonight, and mixed in were several pages where she wrote down various quotes or random thoughts. This is one of my favorites:

Stand up so they can see you.
Speak up so they can hear you.
Shut up so they'll ask you back!!
 
Heard one today that I really liked.

I've long repeated to young leaders - make sure and use metrics to measure but never to manage.

I heard it said today similarly but effectively.

'We intend to measure what matters, but in the end the only thing that matters to many is what we CAN measure'
