"I am acutely aware of the debt owed to those who laid the foundation for modern statistical methods," he said. "It is important to recognize that a substantial body of knowledge already exists in this discipline."

"On a personal level, I gain pleasure in reading and re-reading papers from the giants in statistics and quality. I strongly recommend practitioners to search out materials from R.A. Fisher, William S. Gosset, Walter Shewhart, W. Edwards Deming, George Box and others and, moreover, take the time to seriously consider their advice." Links to several important historical papers are available through this link.

His favorite quote is from Sir Isaac Newton:

"I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me."
