Lillian Gilbreth

The one thing that we can do to make life more livable, more enjoyable, more productive, is to make it more efficient.

Management is not a thing, it is a process.

The greatest waste in the world is the waste of human ability.

Efficiency is doing things right. Effectiveness is doing the right things.

The home is the greatest laboratory in the world.

There is no royal road to anything. One thing at a time, all things in succession. That which grows fast, withers as rapidly. That which grows slowly, endures.

The human element is the most important factor in industry.

Work smarter, not harder.

The greatest asset of any organization is its people.

The only way to do great work is to love what you do.

Time is the most valuable thing a man can spend.

The purpose of management is to make people more productive.

Don't be afraid to give up the good to go for the great.

The best way to predict the future is to create it.

A place for everything, and everything in its place.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

The only constant in life is change.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.

The mind is everything. What you think you become.

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
