My favourite from Hacker News, not the most influencing but a fun one that I rather enjoy bringing up in the work place.

CFO asks "what if we spend our money training our staff and they leave?", CTO replies "what if we don't and they stay?" - JAVagueArgument

Yep, for me it implies that a company has a sweet spot about the value of its employees. If it's too high they leave, if it's too low they are useless.
