| | Fred Allen |  | A molehill man is a pseudo-busy executive who comes to work at 9 am and finds a molehill on his desk. He has until 5 p.m. to make this molehill into a mountain. An accomplished molehill man will often have his mountain finished before lunch. |
| | Fred Allen | | The vice-president of an advertising agency is a bit of executive fungus that forms on a desk that has been exposed to conference. |
| | Christiane Amanpour | | Because I am foreign I was assigned to the foreign desk. I kid you not, it's true. |
| | Bruce Barton | | When a load of bricks, dumped on a corner lot, can arrange themselves into a house; when a handful of springs and screws and wheels, emptied on a desk, can gather themselves into a watch, then and not until then will it seem sensible, to some of us at least, to believe that all these thousands or millions of worlds could have been created, balanced and set to revolving in their separate orbits - all without any directing intelligence at all. |
| | Dan Brown | | If I'm not at my desk by 4:00 A.M., I feel like I'm missing my most productive hours. In addition to starting early, I keep an antique hour glass on my desk and every hour break briefly to do pushups, sit-ups, and some quick stretches. I find this helps keep the blood (and ideas) flowing. I'm also a big fan of gravity boots. |
| | Pearl S. Buck | | In a mood of faith and hope my work goes on. A ream of fresh paper lies on my desk waiting for the next book. I am a writer and I take up my pen to write. |
| | Eric A. Cornell | | Indeed in elementary school I often kept my desktop slightly open and affected an alert-looking pose that still allowed me to peek into the desk where I kept open my latest book, as interesting as it was irrelevant to the academic subject at hand. |
| | Dwight D. Eisenhower | | This desk of mine is one at which a man may die, but from which he cannot resign. |
| | Malcolm Forbes | | If you don't know what to do with many of the papers piled on your desk, stick a dozen colleagues initials on them and pass them along. When in doubt, route. |
| | Harold S. Geneen | | You can know a person by the kind of desk he keeps. If the president of a company has a clean desk then it must be the executive vice president who is doing all the work. |
