More customers for Canadian oil means that Canadian producers can charge more for their oil, which then means that American businesses and consumers will pay more for oil. ~ Ron Wyden
American Business quotes by Ron Wyden
American business can out-think, out-work, out-perform any nation in the world. But we can't beat the competition if we don't get in the ball game. ~ George H. W. Bush
American Business quotes by George H. W. Bush
It doesn't matter who you marry, as long as he thinks like you and is a gentleman and a Southerner and prideful. For a woman, love comes after marriage."
"Oh, Pa, that's such an Old Country notion!"
"And a good notion it is! All this American business of running around marrying for love, like servants, like Yankees! The best marriages are when the parents choose for the girl. For how can a silly piece like yourself tell a good man from a scoundrel? ~ Margaret Mitchell
American Business quotes by Margaret Mitchell
Actually, if American business is going to succeed, we are going to need hundreds, or even thousands, of miracles. ~ Peter Thiel
American Business quotes by Peter Thiel
American business men must learn human nature to the point of accepting as necessary the Rabble Rouser of the Right ... To get fast action somebody must stir millions to genuine anger over conditions which are adversely affecting their lives. ~ Walter B. Pitkin
American Business quotes by Walter B. Pitkin
I insist on a lot of time being spent, almost every day, to just sit and think. That is very uncommon in American business. I read and think. So I do more reading and thinking, and make less impulse decisions than most people in business. I do it because I like this kind of life. ~ Warren Buffett
American Business quotes by Warren Buffett
The greatness of America is capitalism, free market capitalism. The exceptionalism of American business. ~ Fran Tarkenton
American Business quotes by Fran Tarkenton
American business at this point is really about developing an idea, making it profitable, selling it while it's profitable and then getting out or diversifying. It's just about sucking everything up. My idea was: Enjoy baking, sell your bread, people like it, sell more. Keep the bakery going because you're making good food and people are happy. ~ Ian MacKaye
American Business quotes by Ian MacKaye
The spring of 1930 marks the end of a period of grave concern ... American business is steadily coming back to a normal level of prosperity. ~ Julian Barnes
American Business quotes by Julian Barnes
American business, while it does not frown on helping the human race, frowns on people who start right in helping the human race without first proving that they can sell things to it. ~ Margaret Halsey
American Business quotes by Margaret Halsey
And, of course, you have the commercials where savvy businesspeople get ahead by using their MacIntosh computers to create the ultimate American business product: a really sharp-looking report. ~ Dave Barry
American Business quotes by Dave Barry
With the strong bipartisan rejection of the Dorgan amendment today, the Senate cast a vote in favor of the U.S. working to knock down unfair trade barriers that hurt American business and farmers ~ Rob Portman
American Business quotes by Rob Portman
Out of respect for the love of liberty shown by the Chinese people, and also in the belief that the future of the world lies with the yellow man and the brown man now that our erstwhile master, the white-skinned man, has wasted himself through buggery, cell phone usage, and drug abuse, I offer to tell you, free of charge, the truth about Bangalore.
"By telling you my life's story.
"See, when you come to Bangalore, and stop at a traffic light, some boy will run up to your car and knock on your window, while holding up a bootlegged copy of an American business book wrapped carefully in cellophane and with a title like:
TEN SECRETS OF BUSINESS SUCCESS!
or
BECOME AN ENTREPRENEUR IN SEVEN EASY DAYS!
"Don't waste your money on those American books. They're so yesterday.
"I am tomorrow. ~ Aravind Adiga
American Business quotes by Aravind Adiga
If our government servants had to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act as they have forced all of American business to do, they would be in jail. ~ Patrick Henry
American Business quotes by Patrick Henry
We both (Charlie Munger and Warren Buffett) insist on a lot of time being available almost every day to just sit and think. That is very uncommon in American business. We read and think. ~ Charlie Munger
American Business quotes by Charlie Munger
Sun Microsystems, a Silicon Valley workstation maker, got its start in 1982 making such machines for use on the Stanford University Network (hence its name). Sun set a record that still stands in the annals of American business for being the company that from a dead start reached the $1 billion sales mark faster than any other manufacturer - it took all of four years. ~ Brent Schlender
American Business quotes by Brent Schlender
One reason the United States is one of three countries in the world that do not have any form of paid maternity leave is that many American business leaders, like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, oppose any family-friendly policies. They scare people into thinking maternity leave will be a job killer. ~ Madeleine M. Kunin
American Business quotes by Madeleine M. Kunin
I couldn't miss the irony, not as a forty-two-year-old native of the segregated South, still fighting to earn respect in the color-conscious world of American business. How often had my parents and grandparents, other family members and friends, and I myself been directed to the back door of a bus, a restaurant, or a theater because we were considered second class, even after paying a first-class price for service! But that night we were treated to courtesies that even President Nixon could not enjoy: entering through the lobby, approaching the front desk, quietly registering, and being assisted to our room by the highly trained wait staff. A familiar portion of a Bible verse came to mind. The last shall be first and the first last (Matt. 20:16). ~ John Barfield
American Business quotes by John Barfield
Provides American business with the only reliable domestic market in the world.
Schools train individuals to respond as a mass. Boys and girls are drilled in being bored, frightened, envious, emotionally needy, generally incomplete. A successful mass production economy requires such a clientele. A small business, small farm economy like that of the Amish requires individual competence, thoughtfulness, compassion, and universal participation; our own requires a managed mass of leveled, spiritless, anxious, familyless, friendless, godless, and obedient people who believe the difference between Cheers and Seinfeld is a subject worth arguing about. ~ John Taylor Gatto
American Business quotes by John Taylor Gatto
I do believe in the energy and the productivity of the American business world. ~ Clint Eastwood
American Business quotes by Clint Eastwood
The US Debt is the single biggest threat I see to innovation in American business. ~ Erskine Bowles
American Business quotes by Erskine Bowles
Pulling the plug on the BlackBerry could cost corporate America millions of dollars. The BlackBerry is more than e-mail but a handheld office, and if you shut down the BlackBerry, you shut off the data that powers American business. ~ Al Smith
American Business quotes by Al Smith
No other facet of American business is more corrupt, more intoxicated with illegality, more weakly regulated, and has a greater impact on poor and working people than debt collectors; not credit card companies or subprime mortgages, not even payday lenders. ~ Gary Weiss
American Business quotes by Gary Weiss
Every time you have a new tax, or every time you have to pay really an inordinate amount for a regulation, it's really stifling this country and really stifling American business. ~ John Raese
American Business quotes by John Raese
Perhaps the single most effective antagonist of American business is Ralph Nader, who - thanks largely to the media - has become a legend in his own time and an idol of millions of Americans. ~ Lewis F. Powell, Jr.
American Business quotes by Lewis F. Powell, Jr.
I have to come to terms with the paternalism of American business. Companies are expected to take on so many social responsibilities which are the province of the state in Europe. ~ Nick Denton
American Business quotes by Nick Denton
Buffett's uncommon urge to chronicle made him a unique character in American life, not only a great capitalist but the Great Explainer of American capitalism. He taught a generation how to think about business, and he showed that securities were not just tokens like the Monopoly flatiron, and that investing need not be a game of chance. It was also a logical, commonsensical enterprise, like the tangible businesses beneath. He stripped Wall Street of its mystery and rejoined it to Main Street
a mythical or disappearing place, perhaps, but one that is comprehensible to the ordinary American. ~ Roger Lowenstein
American Business quotes by Roger Lowenstein
We have reached in this country an amazing degree of general prosperity, with American business on the whole no longer facing an uphill climb. ~ Charles M. Schwab
American Business quotes by Charles M. Schwab
The problem with all these tired excuses for inaction is that it suggests a fundamental lack of faith in American business and American ingenuity. ~ Barack Obama
American Business quotes by Barack Obama
United States has always been very close to Africa and it's very sad now to see that Africa has a lot more friends - a lot more engagements with the Chinese, with the Indians, with the Brazilians as the United States retreats. Actually, Africa is a wonderful place to do business and American business is missing a big opportunity by really overlooking Africa. ~ Mo Ibrahim
American Business quotes by Mo Ibrahim
Advertising has always been the Peck's Bad Boy of American business urging us to buy things we probably don't need and often can't afford. ~ Andrew Hacker
American Business quotes by Andrew Hacker
Clearly, Valdez was an apologist for the industrialists and polluters, the big American companies that dominated Costa Rica and other Latin American countries. Not surprising to find such a person here, since the CIA had controlled Costa Rica for decades. This wasn't a country; it was a subsidiary of American business interests. And American businesses did not give a damn for the environment. ~ Michael Crichton
American Business quotes by Michael Crichton
… the Nazis, without admitting it, learned as much from American gangster organizations as their propaganda, admittedly, learned from American business publicity. ~ Hannah Arendt
American Business quotes by Hannah Arendt
To prosper and advance, the American business sector is going to need a financial system oriented toward business, not 'home ownership.' ~ Edmund Phelps
American Business quotes by Edmund Phelps
Many of the most successful men I have known have never grown up. Youthfulness of spirit is the twin brother of optimism ... Resist growing up! ~ B.C. Forbes
American Business quotes by B.C. Forbes
While the importance of a strong brand is widely understood, nothing is as misunderstood in American business as the question of how to use it. ~ David F. D'Alessandro
American Business quotes by David F. D'Alessandro
Our global corporate investment bank competes with Goldman Sachs, Citibank, and a bunch of other banks that are in those businesses. We may have slightly different products or services, but so what? That's always been true in American business. ~ Jamie Dimon
American Business quotes by Jamie Dimon
We both insist on a lot of time being available almost every day to just sit and think. That is very uncommon in American business. We read and think. So Warren and I do more reading and thinking and less doing than most people in business. ~ Charles T. Munger
American Business quotes by Charles T. Munger
The question really is how do we get Embassy Officers into the minds of the American business community. That is a much more difficult task than understanding a statistical matrix. ~ Lawrence Eagleburger
American Business quotes by Lawrence Eagleburger
Traffic growled and snarled, rising at times to a machine-gun rata-tat-tat, while pedestrians were scuttling about with that desperate ratlike urgency characteristic of all big American cities, but which reaches its ultimate in New York. ~ Fritz Leiber
American Business quotes by Fritz Leiber
Emperors, kings, artisians, peasens, big people
at the bottom we are all alike and all the same; all just alike on the inside, and when our clothes are off, nobody can tell which of us is which. ~ Mark Twain
American Business quotes by Mark Twain
As far as Stephen could see they were tolerably shipshape already. The bare little rooms had been sanded and scrubbed; various neat lockers economized space; a complication of white cordage in the corner showed that a hanging chair, that most comfortable of seats, was being made; and hammocks lashed up with seven perfectly even turns and covered with a rug formed a not inelegant sofa. Jack Aubrey had spent most of his naval life in quarters very much more confined than this; he had also a good deal of experience of French and American prisons, to say nothing of English sponging houses, and it would have been a hard gaol indeed that found him at a loss. ~ Patrick O'Brian
American Business quotes by Patrick O'Brian
It is heresy in America to embrace any way of life except as half of a couple. Solitude is un-American. ~ Erica Jong
American Business quotes by Erica Jong
I don't want to tell you how much insurance I carry with the Prudential, but all I can say is: when I go, they go too. ~ Jack Benny
American Business quotes by Jack Benny
The point is, that the function of the novel seems to be changing; it has become an outpost of journalism; we read novels for information about areas of life we don't know - Nigeria, South Africa, the American army, a coal-mining village, coteries in Chelsea, etc. We read to find out what is going on. One novel in five hundred or a thousand has the quality a novel should have to make it a novel - the quality of philosophy. ~ Doris Lessing
American Business quotes by Doris Lessing
The idea that we must choose between the method of "winning hearts and minds" and the method of shaping behavior presumes that we have the right to choose at all. This is to grant us a right that we would surely accord to no other power. Yet the overwhelming body of American scholarship accords us this right. ~ Noam Chomsky
American Business quotes by Noam Chomsky
Pedagogues: More than any other class of blind leaders of the blind they are responsible for the degrading standardization which now afflicts the American people. ~ H.L. Mencken
American Business quotes by H.L. Mencken
Baseball is the exponent of American Courage, Confidence, Combativeness, American Dash, Discipline, Determination, American Energy, Eagerness, Enthusiasm, American Pluck, Persistency, Performance, American Spirit, Sagacity, Success, American Vim, Vigor, Virility. ~ Albert Goodwill Spalding
American Business quotes by Albert Goodwill Spalding
I knew you'd be lucky today. I was pretty lucky myself, 693 came out and I played 698. Had the first two numbers right, anyway." Andy smiled. "Are you a ducker for that number racket. I guess everybody is a sucker for some kind of racket. Horses, numbers, cards, bingo, pinball machines...the great American hobbies. Everybody trying anything to make a few bucks." "I only play two cents a day," Charley said weakly. "Go ahead, play, if you get a bang out of it. Maybe you'll hit...one of these days! There's our old pal, one of these days, and some day, popping up. ~ Len Zinberg
American Business quotes by Len Zinberg
If we want to keep farmers in business, it's time for all of us, ordinary citizens and policy makers alike, to begin learning how that might be done. Sharing the Harvest is a great place to start. ~ Joan Dye Gussow
American Business quotes by Joan Dye Gussow
It's just me and James walking and walking except he's on my back and his eyes are looking past the people who are looking past us for the coyote of our soul and the wolverine of our heart and the crazy crazy man that touches every Indian who spends too much time alone. ~ Sherman Alexie
American Business quotes by Sherman Alexie
So, how'd you get the tattoo?" she said.
"Drunken frat boys don't say no to things their drunken frat brothers are telling them to do."
"That almost sounds like an admission of weakness from the invulnerable Andrew Sheffield."
"Not weakness. Stupidity, maybe. That, I'll cop to."
"I can't believe the man behind such a successful business is stupid."
"You'd be surprised. Just as there are different kinds of intelligence, there are different kinds of stupid. ~ Linda Morris
American Business quotes by Linda Morris
On the plane, I like to read fiction set in the location I'm going to. Fiction is in many ways more useful than a guidebook, because it gives you those little details, a sense of the way a place smells, an emotional sense of the place. So, I'll bring Graham Greene's The Quiet American if I'm going to Vietnam. It's good to feel romantic about a destination before you arrive. ~ Anthony Bourdain
American Business quotes by Anthony Bourdain
Profit is the most global aspect of a business, and it is cross-functional. ~ Carlos Ghosn
American Business quotes by Carlos Ghosn
Without involvement, there is no commitment. Mark it down, asterisk it, circle it, underline it. No involvement, no commitment. ~ Stephen R. Covey
American Business quotes by Stephen R. Covey
The U. S. is headed toward a period of business depression ... beginning within the next two years, which may exceed that which preceded the War ... The only thing that will save us is a new gold policy or the discovery of a new process or additional gold fields. If the fall [of gold production] is not prevented by design or accident we shall throttle business, wringing out all profits and experiencing all the evils of deflation. ~ Irving Fisher
American Business quotes by Irving Fisher
We have rights in America. In tandem with those rights, we have responsibility. Whatever type of journalist we are, whether it be in the entertainment business, or as professional journalists, we always have the consequences of the way we present fact and information. ~ Mike Pence
American Business quotes by Mike Pence
America's highest economic need is higher ethical standards
enforced by strict laws and upheld by responsible business leaders. ~ George W. Bush
American Business quotes by George W. Bush
They now endure incessant cultural appropriation by a majority society in the United States that celebrates an idealized American Indian but ignores reservation life - the economic blight and marginalization of what are, in effect, national internment zones, exacerbated by federal inattention and mismanagement. In Indian country there are also thriving cultural traditions and creative genius, but these often receive little more recognition than the problems. - ~ T. J. Stiles
American Business quotes by T. J. Stiles
So American culture is itself a hybrid and lends itself to use in other people's hybrids. ~ Todd Gitlin
American Business quotes by Todd Gitlin
American fiction is good. It would be nice if somebody read it. ~ Gary Shteyngart
American Business quotes by Gary Shteyngart
Humility in this business [acting] isn't just a matter of being polite, it's kind of a matter of survival. You can't ever afford to think that you're the bee's knees, because you could always afford to be better. You have to always be searching for something better. ~ Michael Shannon
American Business quotes by Michael Shannon
She was pondering the option of law school, the great American baby-sitter for directionless postgrads. ~ John Grisham
American Business quotes by John Grisham
I had to call in because I do believe, I know of cases, it is happening that some of these kids that weren't born here but they've lived here all their lives, they are being deported. And I also know of cases where the kids are born here, they're American citizens, they're put in foster homes and their parents are deported, and their parents are begging to get their kids back. That actually is happening. ~ Rush Limbaugh
American Business quotes by Rush Limbaugh
Today, National Geographic has a membership side with a magazine and some television side, and they generate about a billion dollars in revenue, and they're profitable. And so at the end of the year they have some bottom line profit which they can then reinvest, because they're running it as a not-for-profit in charitable endeavors. ~ Steve Case
American Business quotes by Steve Case
There is a segment of the American population that has been excluded from the national myth, and that should be redressed. ~ Edward Zwick
American Business quotes by Edward Zwick
The hardest thing about being in this business is just being able to be yourself. People act like there's this one set of rules to follow to be a pop star and I think, 'Well, you say I'm a pop star, so maybe that's not true.' ~ Kelly Clarkson
American Business quotes by Kelly Clarkson
Tonight is delicate business," said Drakasha. "Misstepping in Port Prodigal after midnight is like pissing on an angry snake. I need - " "Ahem," said Locke. "Originally, we're from Camorr." "Be on the boat in five minutes," said Drakasha. ~ Scott Lynch
American Business quotes by Scott Lynch
I see you resting and learning. I see you getting stronger. I see you preparing for greater things so you can take your life and business to a higher level. Always remember that our biggest battle comes before our greatest victory. ~ Jon Gordon
American Business quotes by Jon Gordon
I'm an old guy, and I was protesting during the Vietnam War. We killed fifty Asians for every loyal American. Every artist worth a damn in this country was terribly opposed to that war, finally, when it became evident what a fiasco and meaningless butchery it was. ~ Kurt Vonnegut
American Business quotes by Kurt Vonnegut
