Famous Optimization Quotes
- “True optimization is the revolutionary contribution of modern research to decision processes.” ~ George Dantzig
- “When one is true to oneself when one is authentic, one becomes true to the evolutionary thrust for self-optimization that exists within oneself and within the universe. And that evolutionary thrust is a continuous unfolding process.” ~ Yasuhiko Kimura
- “If you have a business website; make it stickier; redo the merchandising often and try new things until you hit the right homepage…then try and beat that.

-
“Optimization hinders evolution.” ~ Alan Perlis
- “I will be engaging myself personally, as the head of the Polish government, in the optimization of conditions for the exploration, research, logistics and the business related to the production of shale gas.” ~ Donald Tusk
- “Programmers waste enormous amounts of time thinking about, or worrying about, the speed of noncritical parts of their programs, and these attempts at efficiency actually have a strong negative impact when debugging and maintenance are considered. We should forget about small efficiencies, say about 97% of the time: premature optimization is the root of all evil. Yet we should not pass up our opportunities in that critical 3%.” ~ Donald Knuth
- “We must develop knowledge optimization initiatives to leverage our key learnings.” ~ Scott Adams
-
“Premature optimization is the root of all evil.” ~ Donald Knuth
- “Sub-optimization is when everyone is for himself. Optimization is when everyone is working to help the company.” ~ W. Edwards Deming
- “Constrained optimization is the art of compromise between conflicting objectives. This is what design is all about. To find fault with biological design – as Stephen Jay Gould regularly does – because it misses some idealized optimum is therefore gratuitous. Not knowing the objectives of the designer, Gould is in no position to say whether the designer has proposed a faulty compromise among those objectives.” ~ William A. Dembski
- “We should forget about small efficiencies, say about 97% of the time: premature optimization is the root of all evil.” ~ Donald Knuth
-
“The biggest risk is not taking any risk.” ~ Mark Zuckerberg
- “The biggest risk is not taking any risk… In a world that changing really quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks.” ~ Mark Zuckerberg
- “In fast moving markets, adaptation is significantly more important than optimization.” ~ Larry Constantine
- “I have had this view of the optimization of the electrode design for a long time. Historically we went through various phases in the work and eventually worked on large sheets – very large sheets – of palladium.” ~ Martin Fleischmann
-
“Caches aren’t architecture, they’re just optimization.” ~ Rob Pike
- “Optimization is generally detrimental to future success, but it is the only way to accomplish present success in competition with others who are equally interested in short-term results.” ~ Erik Naggum
- “We should forget about small efficiencies, say about 97% of the time: premature optimization is the root of all evil. Yet we should not pass up our opportunities in that critical 3%” ~ Donald Knuth
- “Good website practice and optimizing for conversion usually makes for good search engine optimization. These work together to ensure you drive quality traffic and can persuade that traffic to help you meet your business goals.” ~ Marc Ostrofsky
-
“Premature optimization is the root of all evil in programming.” ~ Tony Hoare
- “We believe that the best Web content optimization strategy is something as old as journalism itself: the shocking truth and the authentic opinion.” ~ Nick Denton
- “Search engine marketing and search engine optimization are critically important to online businesses. You can spend every penny you have on a website, but it will all be for nothing if nobody knows your site is there.” ~ Marc Ostrofsky
- “Optimization hinders evolution. Everything should be built top-down, except the first time. Simplicity does not precede complexity, but follows it.” ~ Alan Perlis
-
“We have to stop optimizing for programmers and start optimizing for users.” ~ Jeff Atwood
- “Baker has done it again! Building on the core principles that he advanced in Professional’s Guide to Value Pricing and The Firm of the Future, Ron Baker has again evolved thought leadership on the critical dynamics of value and pricing. Baker’s latest work, Pricing on Purpose: Creating and Capturing Value, provides real-world examples and practical strategies that provide a framework for pricing optimization. His clarity of purpose and passionate call to action resonates in today’s intellectual capital economy.” ~ Thomas Finneran
- “We want people doing white hat search engine optimization (or even no search engine optimization at all) to be free to focus on creating amazing, compelling web sites. As always, we’ll keep our ears open for feedback on ways to iterate and improve our ranking algorithms toward that goal.” ~ Matt Cutts
-
“It’s fine to celebrate success but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure.” ~ Bill Gates
- “The optimization of cosmic darkness and of Earth’s location within the dark universe that sacrifices neither the material needs of human beings nor their capacity to gain knowledge about the universe reflects masterful engineering at a level far beyond human capability- and even imagination. It testifies of a supernatural, superintelligent, superpowerful, fully deliberate Creator.” ~ Hugh Jackman
