I personally like this one:
“Somebody once said that in looking for people to hire, you look for three qualities: integrity, intelligence, and energy. And if you don’t have the first, the other two will kill you. You think about it; it’s true. If you hire somebody without [integrity], you really want them to be dumb and lazy.”
? Warren Buffett

Do you have any favourite one?

Excellent quotes from everyone.

My favorite one from Mahatma Gandhi is "If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning."

"If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will get you there." – Lewis Carroll

“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?”
“That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,” said the Cat.
“I don’t much care where–” said Alice.
“Then it doesn’t matter which way you go,” said the Cat.
“–so long as I get SOMEWHERE,” Alice added as an explanation.
“Oh, you’re sure to do that,” said the Cat, “if you only walk long enough.”

“It's really easy to fall into the trap of believing that what we do is more important than what we are. Of course, it's the opposite that's true: What we are ultimately determines what we do!”

"Plans are worthless, but planning is everything" - Dwight Eisenhower. Our beautiful project plan will never be 100% accurate but driving to the understanding to build the plan and the communication required to keep it up to date is indispensable. Embrace the ambiguity and constant change!
