Flexible Straw Corporation

Famous quotes containing the words flexible, straw and/or corporation:

    Freedom is the essence of this faith. It has for its object simply to make men good and wise. Its institutions then should be as flexible as the wants of men. That form out of which the life and suitableness have departed should be as worthless in its eyes as the dead leaves that are falling around us.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Farm boys wild to couple
    With anything with soft-wooded trees
    With mounds of earthmounds
    Of pine straw will keep themselves off
    Animals by legends of their own:
    James Dickey (b. 1923)

    The nearest the modern general or admiral comes to a small-arms encounter of any sort is at a duck hunt in the company of corporation executives at the retreat of Continental Motors, Inc.
    C. Wright Mills (1916–1962)
