Success in business requires training and discipline and hard work. But if you're not frightened by these things, the opportunities are just as great today as they ever were.

MoMA is doubling its space, and I decided to raise the money for it.

Populists believe in conspiracies, and one of the most enduring is that a secret group of international bankers and capitalists, and their minions, control the world's economy.

I can only say that I have had a wonderful life.
