Famous quotes containing the words companies and/or office:

    In the U.S. for instance, the value of a homemaker’s productive work has been imputed mostly when she was maimed or killed and insurance companies and/or the courts had to calculate the amount to pay her family in damages. Even at that, the rates were mostly pink collar and the big number was attributed to the husband’s pain and suffering.
    Gloria Steinem (20th century)

    His [the President’s] office is anything he has the sagacity and force to make it.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
