I love the ability to work with very good managers, and to provide the right incentives for them, and truly become a partner with that management, and make that management take a long view.

If you don't have integrity, you have nothing. You can't buy it. You can have all the money in the world, but if you are not a moral and ethical person, you really have nothing.

A real entrepreneur is somebody who has no safety net underneath them.

As I said there is nothing wrong with failing. Pick yourself up and try it again. You never are going to know how good you really are until you go out and face failure.

If you build that foundation, both the moral and the ethical foundation, as well as the business foundation, and the experience foundation, then the building won't crumble.

If you have something at risk, you think differently.

Whales who come up and spout off get harpooned.

If you don't have integrity, you have nothing. You can't buy it.

I've been in a hurry all my life. I've been in a hurry to succeed, and in a hurry to prove myself.

It's one of the most important things at the end of the day, being able to say no to an investment.

I want people who will stand up to me. People who are not afraid to say exactly what's on their minds, even though that's probably not what I want to hear. That's what I want.

Success is getting what you want. Happiness is liking what you get.

I hate cameras. They interfere, they're always in the way. I wish: if I could work with my eyes alone.

Personally I like ageing. With age comes wisdom and I have said it before and I say it again, I will take wisdom over youth any day.

I know I've got to just keep throwing the ball. That's what I do best.

The only way to amuse some people is to slip and fall on an icy pavement.

For my part, I do not feel that the scheme of future happiness, which ought by rights to be in preparation for me, will be at all interfered with by my not meeting again the man I have in my. mind.

Truth resists simplicity.

Only by taking Jesus' example into every part of our lives will we be able to win in life.

One of my great passions is the collection of historical trivia.

The love of a parent, that connection, it's eternal.
