The primary goal of a vendor is to make money.

In some industry markets, high quality can be tied to making more money, but I am sure by now all of us know the computer industry is not like that.

I started working on OpenBSD, and many earlier projects, because I have always felt that vendor systems were not designed for quality.

Linux has never been about quality. There are so many parts of the system that are just these cheap little hacks, and it happens to run.

Nothing binds a people to their leader like a common enemy. Voters don't change governments during war.

As leaders, we become whole when we see that our focused, singular commitment to making the numbers and the metrics cannot be effective on its own, but only when it is part of the whole picture - only when we see that it takes more than metrics to make up the whole.

I am pleased to see that many of the world's leaders have publicly recognized that the crisis in the Middle East was deliberately incited by terrorist organizations.

You have to build a team, but someone's got to lead, and someone's got to be unpopular at times.
