Harvey Mackay

Harvey Mackay
Fatigue makes fools of us all. It robs you of your skills and your judgment, and it blinds you to creative solutions. It's the best-conditioned athlete, not the most talented, who generally wins when the going gets tough.
Harvey Mackay
If we could measure the damage to corporations from gossip, it might be more than the GNP of the Third World!
Harvey Mackay
