I think the most important CEO task is defining the course that the business will take over the next five or so years.

You need to be able to both set a broad direction, and also to take particular decisions along the way that make that broad direction unfold correctly.
Chris CorriganThese self-appointed deacons in the Church of Latter-Day American Literature seem to regard generosity (of words) with suspicion, texture with dislike, and any broad literary stroke with outright hate.

Ben MendelsohnWe are not just scientists, but human beings as well. Like most people weโd like to see the world a better place, which in this context translates into our working to reduce the risk of potentially disastrous climatic change.

So we have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements, and make little mention of any doubts we might have.

Ralph Washington SockmanWith the broad and powerful swing of the hand which Zola in The Earth gave to his ploughman, L'Auto, journal of ideas and action, is going to fling across France today those reckless and uncouth sowers of energy who are the great professional riders of the world... From Paris to the blue waves of the Mediterranean, from Marseille to Bordeaux, passing along the roseate and dreaming roads sleeping under the sun, across the calm of the fields of the Vendรฉe, following the Loire, which flows on still and silent, our men are going to race madly, unflaggingly.

Out in the Atlantic, humpback whales pass by on their way to the Caribbean. Even now, Canada geese are honking toward us from Quebec.

Meghan O'RourkeThey all have tired mouths and bright seamless souls. And a longing (as for sin) sometimes haunts their dreams. They are almost all alike; in God's gardens they keep still, like many, many intervals in his might and melody. Only when they spread their wings are they wakers of a wind: as if God with his broad sculptor- hands leafed through the pages in the dark book of the beginning.
Rainer Maria RilkePeople used to ask me for advice, and I'd say, 'Please, don't ask me!' Yes, I did economics at Oxford, but that's not the same as having a broad knowledge of personal finance

Ben BernankeI suppose it was that in courtship everything is regarded as provisional and preliminary, and the smallest sample of virtue or accomplishment is taken to guarantee delightful stores which the broad leisure of marriage will reveal. But the door-sill of marriage once crossed, expectation is concentrated on the present. Having once embarked on your marital voyage, it is impossible not to be aware that you make no way and that the sea is not within sight-that, in fact, you are exploring an enclosed basin.
George EliotI'm very proud of the fact that Israel is the one country in a very broad radius that - in which Arabs have free and fair elections. That's sacrosanct. That will never change.

Benjamin NetanyahuThere's nothing tiny or insignificant. Everything is significant. And everything flows on the same basis of Laws.

And it is only the connection or the disconnection that is of really any importance.
Esther HicksHow marvelous, wide and broad is my Inheritance! Time is my property, my estate is time.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheThe snow lay thin and apologetic over the world. That wide grey sweep was the lawn, with the straggling trees of the orchard still dark beyond; the white squares were the roofs of the garage, the old barn, the rabbit hutches, the chicken coops. Further back there were only the flat fields of Dawson's farm, dimly white-striped. All the broad sky was grey, full of more snow that refused to fall. There was no colour anywhere.

Gavyn DaviesThere is a broad distinction between religion and theology. The one is a natural, human experience common to all well-organized minds. The other is a system of speculations about the unseen and the unknowable, which the human mind has no power to grasp or explain, and these speculations vary with every sect, age, and type of civilization. No one knows any more of what lies beyond our sphere of action than thou and I, and we know nothing.
Lucretia Mott
