It's better to take over and build upon an existing business than to start a new one.

The highest art of professional management requires the literal ability to 'smell' a 'real fact' from all others.

Business is many things, the least of which is the balance sheet. It is a fluid, ever changing, living thing, sometimes building to great peaks, sometimes falling to crumbled lumps.

In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins: cash and experience. Take the experience first; the cash will come later.

If you keep working you'll last longer. I'd hate to spend the rest of my life trying to outwit an 18-inch fish.

Do you want my one-word secret of happiness? It's growth - - mental, financial you name it.
