Expanding Quotes
On growing bigger, and growing right.
These quotes look at expansion mostly through a business lens, with companies pushing into new markets and groups growing across segments, plus a debate over whether a program should widen before it's fixed. One even finds a playful use for the word, imagining a treat that grows on its own. For a contrarian take on scale, see Few People quotes.
