But during the administration of the present President we have had neither agreement nor a clear-cut battle. ~Franklin D. Roosevelt

In very big companies, you find less entrepreneurialism than you really want to see. Success is defined as "don't make a mistake." And you get to be the C.E.O. by outlasting everybody else, then you're there for five or six years, and you want to get your bonus on the way out. ~Bernard L. Schwartz
