W. Edwards Deming is the source of one of my favorite quotes:
"In God we trust; all others must bring data."
One of the fascinating things about Deming's work is that Japan's automobiles went from being referred to pejoratively as "Jap Crap" to symbols of quality (Toyota, Honda, Subaru, Nissan, Mazda, etc.) within a short few decades--quite a feat for a nation struggling to regain its industrial footing after WWII.

- heymijo 5y agoI'm curious what makes that your favorite quote. It gives me pause, mainly because I've seen it abused, ironically, often in contrast to some of Deming's core ideas. YMMV
