"Of those things that would make a..." - Quote by Peter Drucker

“The Pertinent Question is NOT how to do things right - but how to find the right things to do, and to concentrate resources and efforts on them.”

“I'm better about things than about people. I'm more interested in people, but I'm better at ideas.”

“Management must take the lead in making obsolete its own products and services rather than waiting for a competitor to do so.”

“It's silly to try to escape other people's faults. They are inescapable. Just try to escape your own.”

“We must look within ourselves, become responsible and provide fresh solutions if we ever want to do more than complain,or make excuses.”

“His retreat into himself is not a final renunciation of the world, but a search for quietude, where alone it is possible for him to make his contribution to the life of the community.”

“Need and struggle are what excite and inspire us; our hour of triumph is what brings the void.”

“The state of society is one in which the members have suffered amputation from the trunk, and strut about so many walking monsters, - a good finger, a neck, a stomach, an elbow, but never a man. Man is thus metamorphosed into a thing, into many things. The planter, who is Man sent out into the field to gather food, is seldom cheered by any idea of the true dignity of his ministry. He sees his bushel and his cart, and nothing beyond, and sinks into the farmer, instead of Man on the farm.”

“A nation which does not remember what it was yesterday, does not know what it is today, nor what it is trying to do. We are trying to do a futile thing if we do not know where we came from or what we have been about.”
