Failure is not an option on this one.

When I looked into the mechanics of being a businessman, I found it wasn't rocket science.

That outgrowth of arrogance comes at a price: some people don't like is. I take responsibility for that.

My philosophy is to always find the smartest people you can. Hire people smarter than you.

If you can't embrace both failure or the possibility of failure, or the tremendous fear of failure, you can't be wildly successful. It's just an axiomatic truth.

The greatest business icons-it's not that they were worth hundreds of millions, or billions or trillions of dollars, it's that they moved society forward.

You can be hard on people as long as you're just as hard on yourself.
