Famous quotes containing the words committees and/or general:
“A committee is organic rather than mechanical in its nature: it is not a structure but a plant. It takes root and grows, it flowers, wilts, and dies, scattering the seed from which other committees will bloom in their turn.”
—C. Northcote Parkinson (1909–1993)
“One general builds his success on ten thousand bleaching bones.”
—Chinese proverb.
