An executive QUOTES

1 " In lieu of those checks and balances central to our legal system,
non-citizens face an executive that is now investigator, prosecutor,
judge, jury and jailer or executioner. In an Orwellian twist, Bush's
order calls this Soviet-style abomination 'a full and fair trial. "

― William Safire

2 " The pitch we used to convince companies to spend $50 million bucks for one of our planes was that it wasn't simply a means of transportation; oh no - it was 'a productivity tool'. It allowed an executive to make good use of his travel time and a relaxed and refreshed executive could seal the deal much more effectively than his travel-worn counterpart. Yeah, right. You can always justify any obscene luxury on the grounds of productivity... "

― Joseph Finder , Power Play

3 " A decision is the action an executive must take when he has information so incomplete that the answer does not suggest itself. "

4 " In the business world an executive knows something about everything, a technician knows everything about something and the switchboard operator knows everything. "

5 " I never trust an executive who tends to pass the buck. Nor would I want to deal with him as a customer or a supplier. "
