But Jack was a hungry fighter and he knew that if he was going to eat, he must get up in order to get the two dollars.

When we budget our films we multiply it by 1.55 it's much easier than when we multiply it by 2 so the cost looks a lot less in dollars, because everybody talks in dollars in terms of finance.

Josh SugarmannI have a theory that the best ads come from personal experience. Some of the good ones I have done have really come out of the real experience of my life, and somehow this has come over as true and valid and persuasive. People love to read stories.

Start to collect your stories from today and use them in your ad campaigns.

Elizabeth HawesMoney is different from all other commodities: other things being equal, more shoes, or more discoveries of oil or copper benefit society, since they help alleviate natural scarcity. But once a commodity is established as a money on the market, no more money at all is needed.

"It's as ethical as my dating the son of Satan.
Darynda JonesI was working as a journalist for an Israeli paper in Paris, and my salary at the highest was fifty dollars a month. At the end of the month I always had palpitations; I didn't know how to pay my rent. Even after the war, I was often hungry. But that's part of the romantic condition of a student. To be a student in Paris and not be hungry is wrong.
Elie WieselIn the 1980s and 1990s, Jack Welch, the CEO of General Electric, laid off over 100,000 employees. His reward?

And that doesn't happen by accident either.

Cal ThomasEmployers, have you ever stopped to reckon what the goodwill of your workers is worth? ... In most large concerns it would be worth more in dollars and cents to have the goodwill of the working force than of those on the outside. It has been repeatedly demonstrated that the average working force is capable of increasing its production 25% or more whenever the workers fell so inclined. Workers animated by ill will cannot possibly give results equal to those of workers animated by goodwill. The tragic fact appears to be that a tremendous number of working forces are not so animated.
B. C. ForbesI always like to make explicit the fact that before I went off not too long ago to fight in the trenches, I was a mathematician by profession.
