They are the guiding oracles which man has found out for himself in that great business of ours of learning how to be to do to do without and to depart.

I thought I was learning about show business. The more painful it was the more important I thought the experience must be. Hating it I convinced myself it must be invaluable.

Why - because as a oil and gas small business owner - I know if someone is not doing their job they should not get paid. Again leadership by example.

The business manager was doing fine back in his office while they were out on the line hungry. And so they started to see a lot of that and there was that maybe the leadership had its own cause. More so than the miners you know it was like a power struggle.

Twenty-eight years in business and you understand the importance of problem solving and the importance of efficiency because if you don't become efficient you don't run a business well and you are out of business. And I think some of those principles could be applied to leadership in Washington.

Whether it was his ability to turn around the Massachusetts economy or turn around businesses in the private sector Mitt Romney has demonstrated the leadership that we need in the White House to get the country on the right track.

The one thing I have learned as a CEO is that leadership at various levels is vastly different. When I was leading a function or a business there were certain demands and requirements to be a leader. As you move up the organization the requirements for leading that organization don't grow vertically they grow exponentially.

We live in a time where government is not a leadership thing it's more a business that's out there and running riot so I guess the people have to go out there and say stuff.

Each one of us and indeed all those who aspire to national leadership must bring their own visions views and styles to the business of reforming Nigeria and the search for solutions.

I want American Dream growth - lots of new businesses well-paying jobs and American leadership in new industries like clean energy and biotechnology.

What helps people helps business.

Growing up in Nashville especially in a music business family means growing up with knowledge that seems like common sense until later in life when you realize people spend thousands of dollars a semester trying to learn or pretending to learn while looking for some intern job on music row.

My finances have been decimated by a group of people such as my ex-attorney my ex-business manager and an estate planner specifically. And they have conspired together to - to co-op my corporations put in trustees without my knowledge.

The university's business is the conservation of useless knowledge and what the university itself apparently fails to see is that this enterprise is not only noble but indispensable as well that society can not exist unless it goes on.

The business of a scientific school is the dissemination of useful knowledge and this is a noble enterprise and indispensable withal society can not exist unless it goes on.

I've done a lot of things in a business where you're lucky to stay alive so when the time comes I'll be happy to pass my knowledge along and help someone else.

Each co-operative institution will become a school of business in which each member will acquire a knowledge of the laws of trade and commerce.

Even though I'm a hype man myself I like the practicality of it all. People who understand how to turn a profit. At the end of the day this is still business so I'm looking for real practical knowledge of how to actually make money not necessarily raise it.

I wish I had known more firsthand about the concerns and problems of American businesspeople while I was a U.S. senator and later a presidential nominee. That knowledge would have made me a better legislator and a more worthy aspirant to the White House.

I believe Business Objects is on the cusp of becoming a multi-billion-dollar sales company. There is tremendous growth potential for business intelligence.

Almost all Iraqis with any previous experience in the intelligence business are Sunni Arab increasing the risk of penetration of the new intelligence apparatus by the insurgency.

We are in this business whether it be intelligence or the government to protect freedom democracy and liberty not to violate that.

When I went on to write my next book Working With Emotional Intelligence I wanted to make a business case that the best performers were those people strong in these skills.

The worlds I paint leave a lot to engage the imagination by hinting at what lies beyond the four edges of the painting. I think getting beyond the four edges of an opportunity or challenge is one of the basic skills you need in business.
