Hire Quotations
We hire people who want to make the best things in the world.
Steve Jobs
Do not hire a man who does your work for money, but him who does it for love of it.
Henry David Thoreau
My mother said it was simple to keep a man, you must be a maid in the living room, a cook in the kitchen and a whore in the bedroom. I said I'd hire the other two and take care of the bedroom bit.
Jerry Hall
What is a danger is that we stay stuck in a new normal where unemployment rates stay high, people who have jobs see their incomes go up, businesses make big profits. But they're learned to do more with less, and so they don't hire.
Barack Obama
I hire people brighter than me and then I get out of their way.
Lee Iacocca
Hire people who are better than you are, then leave them to get on with it. Look for people who will aim for the remarkable, who will not settle for the routine.
David Ogilvy
The people that make this country work, the people who pay on their mortgages, the people getting up and going to work, striving in this recession to not participate in it, they're not the enemy. They're the people that hire you. They're the people that are going to give you a job.
Rush Limbaugh
Washington has got to, across the board, lower taxes for small businesses so that our mom and pops can reinvest and hire people, so that our businesses can thrive.
Sarah Palin
If he's got golf clubs in his truck or a camper in his driveway, I don't hire him.
Lou Holtz
I'd heard he was good, and what the hell sense does it make not to hire somebody because of their color?
Walter Annenberg
