My father said, 'You must never try to make all the money that's in a deal. Let the other fellow make some money too, because if you have a reputation for always making all the money, you won't have many deals'.

Once you have made it, you will understand that any business is limited in the challenges it offers. You will want and need other games to play, so you will look for other ventures to hold your interest.

You must take risks, both with your own money or with borrowed money. Risk taking is essential to business growth.

There may be some substitute for hard facts, but if there is, I have no idea what it can be.

Going to work for a large company is like getting on a train. Are you going sixty miles an hour or is the train going sixty miles an hour and you're just sitting still?

Build wealth as a by product of your business success. If wealth is your only objective in business, you will probably fail.

I hate to be a failure. I hate and regret the failure of my marriages. I would gladly give all my millions for just one lasting marital success.
