Horatio Quotes - Page 4

• Nobody I know is as committed to excellence as Donald Palmisano. He symbolizes everything that is good about our country. If Horatio Alger were alive today, heʼd want to be just like Dr. Palmisano, one of the true Renaissance men Iʼve had the privilege and pleasure of knowing! On Leadership continues in his tradition of excellence.

• Las feroces ambiciones de Carver Dana Andrews, hijo de un predicador baptista, bien podrían haber sido imaginadas por Horatio Alger, Jr.-- o Samuel Goldwyn-- pero no los costes ocultos tras esos logros. Carl Rollyson capta con compasión al hombre detrás de la estrella de cine.
