Quality is never an accident

Hope you’re having a relaxing Thanksgiving holiday, unless of course you live in Canada or elsewhere, we’re on a short break this week. Even though we’re off we have to keep the blogosphere happy.

I was picking up mail in the post office the other day and saw a quote on the front of a local college catalog (of all places.)

Quality is never an accident;
it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort,
intelligent direction and skillful execution;
it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.

-William A. Foster

A nice encouragement when one is in the craft of making something beautiful, compelling, or remarkable. I was genuinely surprised to find that William Foster was a US Marine who received the Medal of Honor during World War II during the Battle of Okinawa, 1945. Inspiring words for a wide audience.
