“Choose a lazy person to do a hard job. Because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it.”
Bill Gates (1955) American business magnate and philanthropist
Sometimes quoted with "difficult" instead of "hard".
A similar thought was expressed by automobile executive Clarence Bleicher in 1947 (before Bill Gates was born): "if you get a tough job, one that is hard, and you haven’t got a way to make it easy, put a lazy man on it, and after 10 days he will have an easy way to do it".
