What's a quote that has stuck with you for your whole life?
I always loved browsing such posts on reddit, so thought I should make one on lemmy too
Edit: Usually these kind of posts only used to have excerpts from books or ancient proverbs, but now I am seeing a lot more quotes from shows/movies/games are also resonating with people. It's pretty cool to see.

Classic project management quote.
It's from "The Mythical Man Month" by Fred Brooks. It was published in 1975. I've seen people make the same project management mistakes that the book discussed for the last 30 years.
Sorry to break it to you, but that's almost 50 years.
