Until we are each able to conquer and master the little things in our lives, the big things will remain undone.

I say, let the small dog use the big door too!

Thousands of community banks have gone out of business.
Carly FiorinaI think there was a warmer relationship between the models and the designers and even the businesspeople involved. It was not so cut-throat and not so corporate.

Bill McKibbenSize will hurt returns. Look at Berkshire Hathaway - the last five things Warren has done have generated returns that are splendid by historical standards, but now give him $100 billion in assets and measure outcomes across all of it, it doesn't look so good.
