The Beauty And The Betrayal Of Business
Gave Birth To Success

It is sometimes hard to hear yourself think over the noise of grinding axes as our competitors cloak their pleas for protection and special privilege in the language of public interest.

We have no intention of failing. The only question is how great a success we'll have.

Borrow a lot of money in order to own something 51 percent. Then work your tail off for two years or three years, scrimp and save and pay off the thing, you'll own it 100 percent and then you don't have to take any crap from anybody.

In motivating people, you've got to engage their minds and their hearts. It is good business to have an employee feel part of the entire effort… I motivate people, I hope by example - and perhaps by excitement, by having provocative ideas to make others feel involved.

You hope for the best, but you've got to prepare for the worst.

The world is changing very fast. Big will not beat small anymore. It will be the fast beating the slow.
