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)

    There is no limit to what a man can do so long as he does not care a straw who gets the credit for it.
    —C.E. (Charles Edward)

    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)
