Imagination is a poor matter when it has to part company with understanding.

I think as a rifle platoon and company commander your view is about 1 000 meters in front of you and you hope you can cover that ground and not have to back up and give it up again.

When it comes down to it it's giving people a good night out in a basic way and I think my company guarantees that. There's always something new and something to excite us and surprise us and that's why people come back I hope.

Nevertheless most of the evergreen forests of the north must always remain the home of wild animals and trappers a backward region in which it is easy for a great fur company to maintain a practical monopoly.

We have one of the few societies the only one I can think of right offhand where your health care is so tied to your job so that when an American company has to hire they have to think about health care.

Here in Silicon Valley I have taken part in hundreds of conversations trying to convince people to dive in and become entrepreneurs. All too often innovators with good safe jobs are unwilling to put their family's access to health care at risk by walking away from company-backed medical insurance.

Medical professionals not insurance company bureaucrats should be making health care decisions.

I'd like to see the health care professionals making decisions not some bureaucrat in Indianapolis working for an insurance company.

In order to lead a country or a company you've got to get everybody on the same page and you've got to be able to have a vision of where you're going. America can't have a vision of health care for everybody green economy regulations - can't have a bunch of piece-meal activities. It's got to have a vision.

Hollywood is a cross between a health farm a recreation center and an insane asylum. It's a company town and I happen to like the company!

No company is preferable to bad. We are more apt to catch the vices of others than virtues as disease is far more contagious than health.

More company increases happiness but does not lighten or diminish misery.

In other words don't expect to always be great. Disappointments failures and setbacks are a normal part of the lifecycle of a unit or a company and what the leader has to do is constantly be up and say 'we have a problem let's go and get it'.

Good is somebody who delivered and allowed the company to overcome obstacles without leaving a profound impact on its culture. Great is somebody who leads his company to achievements and performance and value that nobody was expecting it had.

The system is that there is no system. That doesn't mean we don't have process. Apple is a very disciplined company and we have great processes. But that's not what it's about. Process makes you more efficient.

I have a great deal of company in the house especially in the morning when nobody calls.

I'm against big bureaucracy in Washington making health care decisions. I just have an aversion to bureaucrats. But it's not just government bureaucrats. I don't like HMO bureaucrats and insurance company bureaucrats either.

Every dollar I can't commit to my company that's paid in taxes is paying a government that I believe is too big and doing way too much that I don't want done.

A book is good company. It is full of conversation without loquacity. It comes to your longing with full instruction but pursues you never.

My idea of good company is the company of clever well-informed people who have a great deal of conversation that is what I call good company.

A man has to live with himself and he should see to it that he always has good company.

I'm not really religious but very spiritual. I give money to this company that manufactures hearing aids on a regular basis. More people should really hear me sing. I have a gift from God.

Whether they run a record company or a grocery store every boss will tell you you're in big trouble if you're borrowing more than you can ever afford to pay back. Delaying the pain for future generations is suicidal. We've got to start getting the deficit down right now not next year.

When my job was attempting to predict future economic developments for the Shell oil company I was frequently reminded of an Arabic saying: 'Those who claim to foresee the future are lying even if by chance they are later proved right.'
