The trouble, in my opinion, with corporate America today, is that everything is thought of in quarters.

Any fool can buy a company; just pay enough

As I said there is nothing wrong with failing. Pick yourself up and try it again. You never are going to know how good you really are until you go out and face failure.

I always like to refer managers in corporate America as the renters of the corporate assets, not the owners.

One, I love the creativity. I love the ability to create a capital structure that is appropriate for a company, no matter what field it happens to be in.

You only have one thing to sell in life, and that's yourself.

But once you buy a company, you are married. You are married to that company.
