Steamship Company Bore

Famous quotes containing the words company and/or bore:

“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)

“Good words by the third time will even bore the dogs.”
—Chinese proverb.
