There Is No Silver Bullet

March 27th, 2006 by Laura Moncur in Quotations
There is no silver bullet and frankly you probably don’t need one. It is far more important to be able to find the right kind of gun, be able to load the gun – and perhaps most importantly, be able to figure out where the werewolf is.

I LOVE this quotation. He was talking about web design, but this quotation is universal. Whether you are talking about weight loss, office dynamics or web design, he’s right. There is NO silver bullet. Concentrating your efforts on finding one just distracts you from the important issues like learning to shoot.

When someone says something so clearly, the thought transcends what it was talking about and becomes classic. It’s less than a week old and this quotation is already a classic.
