I would be curious as to the date on that. The version I have is: (03)
"A thing not worth doing is not worth doing well."
-- Arden, Bruce W., and Astill, Kenneth N., in "Numerical
algorithms: origins and applications", Addison-Wesley, 1970 (04)
It led the introduction. I doubt that it was original with Bruce, but
he didn't cite a source, and I never found out where he got it from. (05)
