So I'm looking for quotes on group mistakes. I vaguely remember something about noone being able to mess something up like all of us together can mess something up, but I can't get close enough to find the actual quote. Anyone remember how it goes?
Any other quotes you can think of on the subject would also be greatly appreciated.

"Meetings: None of us is as dumb as all of us" is one of my favorite Demotivators posters but I doubt it would count as quotable for your purposes. It seems to have been created as a parody of a Japanese proverb along the lines of "None of us is as smart as all of us." I've also seen "strong" in place of "smart."
