Famous quotes containing the words company and/or school:

    “Whether lawyer, politician or executive, the American who knows what’s good for his career seeks an institutional rather than an individual identity. He becomes the man from NBC or IBM. The institutional imprint furnishes him with pension, meaning, proofs of existence. A man without a company name is a man without a country.”
    —Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)

    “Out of life’s school of war.—What does not destroy me, makes me stronger.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
