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.

The professional's grasp of the numbers is a measure of the control he has over the events that the figures represent.

We must not be hampered by yesterday's myths in concentrating on today's needs.

I don't believe in just ordering people to do things. You have to sort of grab an oar and row with them. My philosophy is to stay as close as possible to what's happening. If I can't solve something, how the hell can I expect my managers to.

You can't run a business or anything else on a theory.

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

Management must manage!
