The American people know what's necessary to get this economy moving again. It's fiscal discipline in Washington D.C. and across-the-board tax relief for working families small businesses and family farms.

Until he lost all his money my father was a successful north London Jewish businessman. He was unusual among his immediate family in that he was enormously cultured and had an incredible library.

And in that I cannot send unto you all my businesses in writing I despatch these present bearers fully informed in all things to whom it may please you to give faith and credence in what they shall say unto you by word of mouth.

After 'Four Feathers ' I quit then because I just lost faith. I didn't like how the business was.

As a small business owner for the last 15 years when I think of what truly changed my life it was my faith a strong family my mom did a really really good job of encouraging me in very clear and discernible ways.

Earmarks have become a symbol of a Congress that has broken faith with the people. This earmark ban shows the American people we are listening and we are dead serious about ending business as usual in Washington.

Most employees want to be involved in a successful business and most employees are happy for people running successful businesses to be paid a reasonable wage and a market rate for it provided they understand the reason. What they hate most of all is pay for failure.

I think it's one of the main negative emotional ingredients that fuels show business because there's so much at stake and the fear of failure looms large.

Failure is the most terrible thing in our business. When we fail the whole world knows about it.

I don't have a fear factor. Well not much of one. And I'm willing to risk quite a lot - as a comedian you're always risking a lot. You're risking failure especially if you're improvising and going on TV shows trying to make comedy out of thin air. That is quite a risky business.

By far the most important factor in the success or failure of any school far more important than tests or standards or business-model methods of accountability is simply attracting the best-educated most exciting young people into urban schools and keeping them there.

The experience is fundamentally different for buying from local businesses than it is for buying consumer goods.

If you build that foundation both the moral and the ethical foundation as well as the business foundation and the experience foundation then the building won't crumble.

Capital isn't that important in business. Experience isn't that important. You can get both of these things. What is important is ideas.

At Current television is all we do - that's our business. We don't have amusement parks I have to worry about we don't have environmental cases against us we don't have a series of outdoor-advertising companies.

In today's world it is no longer unimaginable to think that business can operate - and even thrive - in an environmentally-friendly manner.

My goal is not selling laptops. OLPC is not in the laptop business. It's in the education business.

I am less disposed to think of a West Point education as requisite for this business than I was at first. Good sense and energy are the qualities required.

I was in fashion school my brother has a law background and my sister-in-law had worked in production but none of us had a proper fashion business education.

My background was computer science and business school so eventually I worked my way up where I was running product groups - development testing marketing user education.

I had the most reversed education possible. Every parent wants their son to be a businessman respectable - me it was the opposite. When I had an artist career my mum was like 'Oh finally I'm proud of you!'

We didn't know how to run a business but we had dreams and talent.

Now everybody I suppose is aware that in recent years the silly business of divination by dreams has ceased to be a joke and has become a very serious science.

The Hispanic community values entrepreneurship and family-owned businesses and we deserve a leader in Washington who is dedicated to creating an environment where our values our goals and our dreams of prosperity can become reality.
