I've found Mike's quote to be particularly inspiring this week. And I must say, Hannibal's quote was quite insightful as well. Thanks for sharing Kiron.

Hi Francisco,
I’ve created a collection of project management quotes over the years, but few of them I would categorize as inspiring. Most fall into the category of a lesson learned with a sprinkling of humor, satire, or irony.
Here are a few examples:
- Deadlines do not get the respect they deserve, so be sure to salute them as they pass you by.
- A management change is quite often the best form of change management.
- The more time you spend contemplating an estimate, the shorter it gets.
- Managing and embracing risk finds reward; rejecting risk is an illusion.
- One’s tolerance for change often reflects one’s confidence to deliver.
- Being wrong is just part of the process of getting it right.
