Abdul KalamMost discussions of decision making assume that only senior executives make decisions, or that only senior executives' decisions matter. This is a dangerous mistake.
Peter DruckerAmerican business long ago gave up on demanding that prospective employees be honest and hardworking. It has even stopped hoping for employees, who are educated enough, that they can tell the difference between the men's room and the women's room without having little pictures on the doors.

David Herbert LawrenceBusiness is never so healthy as when like a chicken, it must do a certain amount of scratching around for what it gets.
Henry FordThe time to save is now. When a dog gets a bone he doesn't go out and make a down payment on a bigger bone. He buries the one he's got.

Warren BuffettI don't want to get into the 'who's a hostage-taker' discussion here, but what is the estate tax? It's a double tax on death. Economists will tell you that it's really not a tax that soaks the rich but it's a tax on capital that deprives business investment and therefore job creation.

Rush LimbaughYoung men are fitter to invent than to judge fitter for execution than for counsel and fitter for new projects than for settled business.
Francis BaconThe very problem of mind and body suggests division, I do not know of anything so disastrously affected by the habit of division as this particular theme. In its discussion are reflected the splitting off from each other of religion morals and science, the divorce of philosophy from science and of both from the arts of conduct. The evils which we suffer in education in religion in the materialism of business and the aloofness of "intellectuals" from life in the whole separation of knowledge and practice -- all testify to the necessity of seeing mind-body as an integral whole.

We count on the space of trust that confidentiality provides. When someone breaches that trust we are all worse off for it.
Hillary ClintonIt takes more than capital to swing business. You've got to have the A. I. D. degree to get by - Advertising Initiative and Dynamics.
Isaac AsimovIf you understand the business you don't need to own very many of them. If you have a harem of 40 women you never get to know any of them very well.
Warren BuffettNo matter what business you're in you can't run in place or someone will pass you by. It doesn't matter how many games you've won.
Jim ValvanoIt is not fit the public trusts should be lodged in the hands of any till they are first proved and found fit for the business they are to be entrusted with.
Matthew HenryIt's been a joy to be a part of other people's journey to be able to inspire and be a part of new singers coming up in this business.

Dolly PartonIt's none of their business that you have to learn how to write. Let them think you were born that way.
Ernest HemingwayIf people in the media cannot decide whether they are in the business of reporting news or manufacturing propaganda it is all the more important that the public understand that difference and choose their news sources accordingly.
Thomas SowellOver the years our current businesses in aggregate should deliver modest growth in operating earnings. But they will not in themselves produce truly satisfactory gains. We will need major acquisitions to get that job done.

Christina AguileraI hold that the parentheses are by far the most important parts of a non-business letter.
David Herbert LawrenceMom was 50 when my Dad died. She got on a bus every weekday for years and rode 40 miles each morning to Madison. She earned a new degree and learned new skills to start her small business. It wasn't just a new livelihood. It was a new life.
Paul RyanWhen I was in college I was debating to try my hand at show business or to become a professor. I just thought of the risk of not going into show business and always wondering if I would've had a chance. Because that's where my real heart was.
Steve MartinA businessman is the only man who is forever apologizing for his occupation.
Gilbert K. ChestertonTo keep the record straight it wasn't always John and Yoko. We've all accused one another of various business things, we tend to be pretty paranoid by now as you can imagine. There's a lot of money involved.

Sai BabaChristmas is over and Business is Business
Franklin Pierce AdamsLook at market fluctuations as your friend rather than your enemy, profit from folly rather than participate in it.
Warren BuffettThat's what the Romney plan is all about how to get jobs created how to get this debt and deficit under control how to revive small businesses so we can create jobs and how to bring growth and opportunity to society instead of this class warfare instead of speaking to people like they're stuck in some class or station in life.
Paul RyanI think I've got my business notions and my sense for that sort of thing from my dad. My dad never had a chance to go to school. He couldn't read and write. But he was so smart. He was just one of those people that could just make the most of anything and everything that he had to work with.
Dolly PartonI never called my work an 'art'. It's part of show business the business of building entertainment.
Walt DisneyThe most common cause of low prices is pessimism-some times pervasive some times specific to a company or industry. We want to do business in such an environment not because we like pessimism but because we like the prices it produces. It's optimism that is the enemy of the rational buyer.
Warren BuffettAn annuity is a very serious business.
Jane AustenPeople of great position are servants times three servants of their country servants of fame and servants of business.
Francis BaconMickey Mouse popped out of my mind onto a drawing pad 20 years ago on a train ride from Manhattan to Hollywood at a time when business fortunes of my brother Roy and myself were at lowest ebb and disaster seemed right around the corner.
Walt DisneyI'll tell you why I like the cigarette business. It costs a penny to make. Sell it for a dollar. It's addictive. And there's fantastic brand loyalty.
Warren BuffettBusinesswise everything's been good.
Tiger WoodsWhen I jumped off a roof in Cannes in a bee costume I looked ridiculous. But this is my business, I have to humiliate myself.
Jerry SeinfeldLove has always been the most important business in my life I should say the only one.
StendhalGiven that we are still in early 2006 the 2007 guidance is likely to be conservative with higher-than-2006 airplane deliveries better margins at both [Boeing Commercial Airplanes] and [Integrated Defense Systems] strong cash flow but low single-digit top line growth for its defense business.
Joseph CampbellAnyone who says businessmen deal in facts not fiction has never read hold five-year projections.
Malcolm ForbesAll animals except man know that the principal business of life is to enjoy it.

Carroll O'ConnorWriting fiction has become a priestly business in countries that have lost their faith.
Gore VidalI will never do another TV series. It couldn't top I Love Lucy and I'd be foolish to try. In this business you have to know when to get off.

Donald TrumpMicrosoft has had two goals in the last 10 years. One was to copy the Mac and the other was to copy Lotus' success in the spreadsheet - basically the applications business. And over the course of the last 10 years Microsoft accomplished both of those goals. And now they are completely lost.
Steve JobsYou know out-of-touch liberals like Barack Obama say they want a strong economy but in everything they do they show they don't like business very much. But the economy of course is simply the product of all the businesses of the nation added together. So it's a bit like saying you like an omelet but you don't like eggs.
Mitt RomneyI call crony capitalism where you take money from successful small businesses spend it in Washington on favored industries on favored individuals picking winners and losers in the economy that's not pro-growth economics. That's not entrepreneurial economics. That's not helping small businesses. That's cronyism that's corporate welfare.
Paul Ryan
