Respecting Animals Quotes

“A successful decision maker in a corporation is one who accepts judgments on the terms of the corporation. Profit is the god, good ethical outcomes are not. Ethically correct outcomes are not inherent in the corporate structure; they are not the ultimate measure of corporate success; they are not the reason for corporate existence; and they are not measured or reported to the board of directors. Concern for ethical outcomes is the realm of religions, philosophy, and governments only when citizens have effective control over the composition of government.”
