Most of the mutual fund investments I have are index funds, approximately 75%.

I am like a chief. I like to taste the food. If it tastes bad, I don't serve it. I'm constantly monitoring what we do, and I'm always looking for better ways we can provide financial services, ways that would make me happy if I were a client.

The nasty little secret was that I couldn't read worth a darn. In my case, I still read very slowly to this moment.

I quickly learned that if I kept at it and plowed right through the rejections I would eventually get somebody to buy my wares.

I consider my ability to arouse enthusiasm among men the greatest asset I possess. The way to develop the best that is in a man is by appreciation and encouragement.

Kindness is more powerful than compulsion.

Don't limit investing to the financial world. Invest something of yourself, and you will be richly rewarded.
