A man is smoking a cigarette and blowing smoke rings into the air. His girlfriend becomes irritated with the smoke and says,
"Can't you see the warning on the cigarette pack?
Smoking is hazardous to your health!"
To which the man replies, "I am a programmer.
We don't worry about warnings; we only worry about errors."

Mais qu'est-ce que je vais devenir ?
Je suis ministre, je ne sais rien faire !
Eh ben en tout cas on va pas moisir ici,
j'ai un plan pour tous nous évader :
Nous rentrons à Madrid, nous conspirons,
le roi répudie la reine, la vieille épouse le perroquet,
César devient roi, je l'épouse et me voilà reine !!!
(La Folie des grandeurs, Gérard Oury, 1971, Louis de Funès)

Below an extract of a great post on project manager and respect by Scott Berkun. Take time to read full post !
Our culture does not think of movie directors, executive chefs, astronauts, brain surgeons, or rock stars as project managers, despite the fact that much of what these cool, high profile occupations do is manage projects. .....
They’re are committed first to the output, not the process. And the perspective many PMs have is the opposite: they are committed first to the process, and their status in the process, not the output ....
.... Not sure how it happened, but instead of thinking of the great moments in PM history, say the NASA space race, The D-Day invasion of Normandy, The construction of the pyramids, the Empire State building, or any of a thousand great things made possible only by someone’s effective management of the project, people think of pocket protectors, overdesigned charts, epic status reports, and people who spend too much time in rooms filled exclusively with other project managers. ...

Maximes du management moderne
Rome did not create a great empire by having meetings,
they did it by killing all those who opposed them.
If you can stay calm, while all around you is chaos…
then you probably haven’t completely understood the seriousness of the situation….
Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups.
