If guys try to make a bigger company for the sake of size, they don't create value in most cases.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Some people make their choice on size. I happen to not be a believer in that. I've often said, especially in an industry that's clamoring for growth, if I wanted size, I wouldn't have divested $8 billion of businesses.
Human beings are much bigger than just making money.
When small men attempt great enterprises, they always end by reducing them to the level of their mediocrity.
I think it's absolutely essential that the people that work for a company need to feel that they're part of something bigger - that it's not just a job.
Too many companies are just being big for the sheer sake of it. Too many CEOs thinking bigger is better.
Small business creates more jobs than large corporations.
I used to wonder if running a large industrial company would really square with my values.
I suspect there's a lot of validity to the premise that big companies aren't going to attract entrepreneurial talent.
In a small company, you often see a lot more of what goes on in a broader range of things. And that's good.
Every man ultimately falls into the company with which he affiliates. And he is the strongest who draws men to himself, who creates the company; and this is through having a positive quality - courage and physical prowess.
