“Quality is never an accident. It is always the result of high intention, sincere effort,
intelligent direction and skilful execution. It represents the wise choice of many
alternatives. . .
Quality also marks the search for an ideal after necessity has been satisfied and
mere usefulness achieved.”
William A. Foster, 1917-1945
