I’ve gotta believe that my managing tenure has come to an end here Picture Quote #1

The tenure of a literary reputation is the most uncertain and fluctuating of all Picture Quote #1

When it comes to public school education, we have been unwilling to measure our results. We’ve been unwilling to pay based on performance. We have tenure where, even if you can’t teach, you can’t get fired. We’ve been unwilling to invest in new schools Picture Quote #1

President Obama has only had two major policy victories during his tenure: the stimulus package and Obamacare. Both are massively unpopular. The stimulus package launched the Tea Party movement. Obamacare led to the Republican wipeout of 2010 Picture Quote #1

Tenure in any department is serious business, because it means, essentially, employment for life Picture Quote #1

There are several things that can create an alpha - stock buybacks are one. High dividend yields are another, especially nowadays because the stock market yields more than the banks and the tenure treasury. But by and large, it tends to be companies with a strong cash flow, rising sales, accelerated earnings, a profit margin expansion Picture Quote #1

The obstacles facing academic economists are formidable, for tenure and professional advancement still depend to a large extent on a willingness to comply with and to work within the tenets of orthodox theory Picture Quote #1

I think the problem with schools is not too many incentives but too few. Because of tenure, teachers’ unions, and the fact that teachers generally aren’t observed in their classrooms, they can do whatever they want in class Picture Quote #1

You know who has tenure? The pope has tenure. The Queen of England has tenure. So does Fidel and the communists - because they represent the people, of course (scoff). Federal judges have tenure as well - no federal judge has ever successfully been removed. And then there’s the college professors. Me. How do you like that? Picture Quote #1

Christine Bass was my high school music teacher. She took a program on its last legs and within a few years turned into one of the best programs in the country. Our high school dominated national choir competitions all through her 20-plus year tenure Picture Quote #1

Conservative political opinion in America cleaves to the tradition of the judge as passive interpreter, believing that his absolute loyalty to authoritative law is the price of his immunity from political pressure and of the security of his tenure Picture Quote #1

I did love ‘Dirty Sexy Money’ quite a lot. I loved my tenure at ‘Scrubs’ quite a lot. ‘ER’ might have been my favorite guest star thing. ‘We Were Soldiers’ meant a lot to me Picture Quote #1

I love mystery novels... I love seeing the dramas played out in academic departments, particularly English departments. I started reading these when I was going up for tenure Picture Quote #1

It is a common happening that those in power, as their tenure of office continues, find themselves less and less able to contemplate relinquishing it Picture Quote #1

Work hard. I got tenure a year early. Junior faculty members used to say to me: ‘Wow, what’s your secret?’ I said: ‘It’s pretty simple. Call me any Friday night in my office at 10 o’clock, and I’ll tell you.’ Picture Quote #1

A man has a very insecure tenure of a property which another can carry away with his eyes. A few months reduced me to the cruel necessity either of destroying my machine, or of giving it to the public. To destroy it, I could not think of; to give up that for which I had laboured so long, was cruel. I had no patent, nor the means of purchasing one. In preference to destroying, I gave it to the public Picture Quote #1

If you think your teacher is tough, wait until you get a boss. He doesn't have tenure Picture Quote #1

Junior faculty members used to come up to me and say. Wow, you got tenure early; what's your secret? I said, it's pretty simple, call me any Friday night in my office at 10 o'clock and I'll tell you Picture Quote #1

Republics exist only on the tenure of being constantly agitated.... There is no republican road to safety but in constant distrust Picture Quote #1
