Presumably the plans for our employment were being changed. I was to learn later in life that, perhaps because we are so good at organizing, we tend as a nation to meet any new situation by reorganizing; and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency and demoralization." 11Reply Ron Murray, Colonel USMC (Ret), Sierra Vista, AZ 1/29/09 re: Gaius Petronius Arbiter quote A great quote regardless of who said it. Don't know about the 1970 attribution as I had it posted in my offices while on active duty beginning in the early 60s. SaveOk2 Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
