If you see phrases like ‘creating knowledge-based value in emerging markets’ … someone is trying to pull the wool over your eyes, you lazy Fool. Run.” —Seth Jayson, “Stocks for the Lazy Investor,” The Motley Fool

You can certify a manufacturer that makes life jackets from concrete, as long as those jackets are made according to the documented procedures and the company provides next of kin with instructions on how to complain about defects. That’s absurd.”—Richard Buetow, former Director of Corporate Quality for Business Systems, Motorola
