Biographical history, as taught in our public schools, is still largely a history of boneheads: ridiculous kings and queens, paranoid political leaders, compulsive voyagers, ignorant generals— the flotsam and jetsam of historical currents.

Martin Gardner
On State Street, that great street, I just want to say
They do things they don't do on Broadway
They have the time, the time of their life

In Chicago, Chicago my home town.Fred Fisher

Sathya Sai Baba

Hunter S. Thompson

So, in addition to his or her prime responsibility of managing his or her enterprise at a profit, the business leader of today is faced with new and larger responsibilities. And, at the same time, the job of managing his or her enterprise at a profit is increasing in complexity. Consequently, the imposition of additional responsibilities makes the nation’s task of developing an adequate number of properly equipped executive leaders a staggering one indeed.Marvin Bower
