Quote from Michael Scott in Business School
Ryan: Look, I'm sorry, okay? I was just trying to do my presentation. And, of course I was wrong to suggest that Dunder Mifflin might ever go out of business. But you don't have to fire me.
Michael Scott: Fire you? No, no, no. You are moving to the annex.
Ryan: To the annex? Where Kelly is?
Michael Scott: A good manager doesn't fire people. He hires people and inspires people. People, Ryan. And people will never go out of business.

Quote from Michael Scott
Michael Scott: And I'd like to start today by inspiring you. May I borrow someone's textbook, please? [A student hands Michael his text book] Thank you. What have we here? Ooh, economics. Very, very interesting. [rips pages out of the textbook] You cannot learn from books. [still ripping] Replace these pages with life lessons, and then you will have a book that is worth its weight in gold. I know, those are expensive, but the lesson is priceless. Good. All right, I think you're inspired. Shall we proceed? There are four kinds of business, tourism, food service, railroads and sales. And hospitals/manufacturing. And air travel.

Student: But how can you compete against a company with the resources of a nationwide chain?

Student #2: But there's five Goliaths. There's Staples, OfficeMax-
Michael Scott: Yeah, yeah. You know what else is facing five Goliaths? America. Al-Qaeda, global warming, sex predators... mercury poisoning. So do we just give up? Is that what we're learning in business school?
Quote from Michael Scott
Michael Scott: A boss is like a teacher. And I am like the cool teacher. Like Mr. Handell. Mr. Handell would hang out with us, and he would tell us awesome jokes. And he actually hooked up with one of the students, and then, like, 12 other kids came forward. It was in all the papers. Really ruined eighth grade for us.
