Grace Hopper People Quotations

No computer is ever going to ask a new, reasonable question. It takes trained people to do that.

If you do something once, people will call it an accident. If you do it twice, they call it a coincidence. But do it a third time and you've just proven a natural law!

You manage things; you lead people.
