A committee is a group of people who individually can do nothing, but who, as a group, can meet and decide that nothing can be done.

Any committee that is the slightest use is composed of people who are too busy to want to sit on it for a second longer than they have to.

A committee is organic rather than mechanical in its nature: it is not a structure but a plant. It takes root and grows, it flowers, wilts, and dies, scattering the seed from which other committees will bloom in their turn.

Any committee is only as good as the most knowledgeable, determined and vigorous person on it. There must be somebody who provides the flame.

Committee - a group of men who individually can do nothing but as a group decide that nothing can be done.

And everything is controlled and everybody is a member of some committee, because then their watchdogs placed in the committees can control everything, what this person says or how this person think(s), you know.

Power says if you are a committee chairman, your idea is good only because you have got power.

The minute somebody joins a committee... they immediately suffer from committee brain. They become wildly over-enthusiastic, over-optimistic, over-pessimistic. Committees turn people into idiots, and politics is a committee.

A decision is what a man makes when he can't find anybody to serve on a committee.
