There are certainly valid reasons for taking a company private, and it's also possible that C. E. O. s perform better when monitored by a small number of owners in a private company rather than by the dispersed and often uninterested shareholders of a public corporation.
You know how it is with cats: They don't really have owners, they have staff.
How come dog and dog owner are so alike?
Our economics are not baseball's economics. Our game is not baseball's game. Our owners are not baseball's owners, with one or two exceptions. Our union is not baseball's union. What we do has to be crafted and suited to address hockey, to address the NHL, to address our 30 teams and our 700-plus players.
We must remember we are stewards of what God has provided for us, not owners.
The Master acts without doing, and everything gets done.
I'm a cat whisperer. When I go to people's houses, their cats always like me better than the owners.
Knowledge has no value or use for the solitary owner: to be enjoyed it must be communicated
As the longest-running women's professional sports league in the country, the WNBA is a great product comprising 132 of the best female athletes in the world. And when you look beyond the players to owners, coaches, trainers, accountants, and chief operating officers - it's a wonderful example of what women can achieve in sports and in business.
It wasn't so bad being a slave when your owner was yourself and stood up for you.
In Morocco, before you even get to the matter of the sale, you have to coax the owner to sell.
The vast majority of gun owners don't kill, but people who do kill, tend to kill with guns, and often with illegal guns.
Home schoolers do not wish to force other parents to home school. Gun owners do not insist that others buy guns, or that hunting be promoted as an alternative lifestyle. It is not the National Rifle Association out lobbying to have government schools read books entitled 'Heather Has Two Hunters' to preschoolers. It is, in fact, the Left that now strives to use state power to impose its morality by forcing all taxpayers to pay for abortions and public "art" that mocks people of faith. It is the Left that forces parents to pay for government schools where they do not wish to send their children.
Stupid, shiny Volvo owner.
Books tell you more about their owners than the owners do.
I was the owner of my own darkness.
The vast majority of our film producers are independent producers who live hand to mouth trying to get projects made that they love. They are not owners, they're not money people, and in fact, those who just have the money don't always get a producer credit.
A human heart is a skein of such imperceptibly and subtly interwoven threads that even the owner of it is often himself at a loss how to unravel it.
Owners want to make their team a winner so they can get more fans in the stands, and that's why they go after the best ball-players and pay 'em what they're worth.
I have always been a firm believer that the game has never belonged to the owners. It has never belonged to the ballplayers. It belongs to the guy who puts his money up on the window and says, 'How much does it cost to sit in the bleachers?' That is who owns baseball. And it has got to be kept that way.
