In business we cut each others' throats, but now and then we sit around the same table and behave-for the sake of the ladies.

The more you own, the more you know you don't own.

We must free ourselves of the hope that the sea will ever rest. We must learn to sail in high winds.

To succeed in business it is necessary to make others see things as you see them.

Don't worry about your physical shortcomings. I am no Greek god. Don't get too much sleep and don't tell anybody your troubles.

Never nickel when short of cash. Borrow big, but always repay promptly.
