This is a variant of two old classics, which are probably up there in the previous 19 pages of quotes which I am not nearly dedicated enough to look through.

#1. Military version: If it moves, salute it. If it doesn't move, paint it.
#2. Aerospace version: Cut to size, beat to fit, paint to match.

A couple of others I've come across:

#3. Any technical problem that can be fixed with money isn't really a problem.
#4. "Never underestimate the power of human stupidity." Robert Heinlein
