Quotes
- “The Internal Revenue Code of 1954, a document longer than "War and Peace", is phrased -inevitably, perhaps- in the sort of jargon that stuns the mind and disheartens the spirit.”
- “I find that companies are inclined to be at their most interesting when they are undergoing a little misfortune, and therefore I chose the fall of 1966 as the time to have a look at Xerox.”
- “I found that business life is full of creative original minds -along with the usual number of second-guessers, of course.”
- “A man´s study reflects himself as he wishes to be seen publicly, but his journal, if he is honest, reflects something else.”
- “...both company managements and stockholders might well consider a lesson King Lear learned -that when the role of dissenter is left to the Fool, there may be trouble ahead for everybody.”
- “In the law of torts there is the maxim: Every dog has one free bite.”
