The best plan now is to have as many bosses as possible. I call it boss diversity. If you work for a company and you have one boss and that boss doesn't like you or wants to get rid of you, you're in trouble.

Arthur L. Williams, Jr.I'll tell you one thing about me, and that is that I'm not to keen on being bossed around.

That's a little problematic when you have an actual boss.
Deb CalettiIf a man approaches another man in a disrespectful way, especially if they're at a high level in the streets, they're not going to listen to each other. You could be the boss of all bosses, but what gets to you - for real, under your skin, if you got a lady - is going to be your lady!
Felicia PearsonIf you write something that gets a bad response, or someone commits candor or is off message, there are often consequences almost immediately when it appears in the paper or a magazine, that somebody gets called into the boss's office.

Ron SuskindGod does not always call us to go back physically to a place we have been.

God does not want us to be on the run He wants us to confront our fears and frustrations in order to find peace in Him.

Henry FordThere was a very important superintendent of Yellowstone, a man who was involved in the founding of the National Park Service itself, Horace Albright.

Michael Ellsberg... I am more of an ambler. I once overheard my old boss in Dublin describe me as very "hello trees, hello flowers."

Also, be prepared to lose.
