Deep Thought

"We trained very hard, but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form into teams we would be reorganized. I was to learn in this life that we tend to meet any situation by reorganizing. And a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency, and demoralization."

[Frequently attributed to

Petronius Arbiter circa 60 A.D.]

(Probably of much more recent origin.)
