I got along with people very well at every job I had, people liked me and I liked them and I loved being on my feet.

I was well motivated. What I wanted to do was work for myself. I had twenty two jobs before I started my business at the age of twenty three and I didn't want one more boss telling me what to do. So I was motivated simply because I didn't want a boss.

Finding opportunity is a matter of believing it's there.

I've never had a really creative idea sitting at my desk. All the big ideas that made a difference happened when I was playing outside.

The wheels of justice - they're square wheels.

In business, you're the Chief Salesman. Create a sense of demand, rather than waiting to have demand.

What people ask for has nothing to do with the value of a property. You might see a listing for $300,000 and think you should make a $250,000 bid. But hyper-focus on what the house is worth. You should know what the house is worth by looking at comparable properties. Base your bid on that.
