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'.

Without the element of uncertainty, the bringing off of even, the greatest business triumph would be dull, routine, and eminently unsatisfying.

A man can fail, but he isn't a failure until he blames someone else.

The #1 guideline to success is you must be in business for yourself. When you work for someone else, you sell your time at wholesale to your employer, who then re-sells it at retail to the customer.

I have no complex about wealth. I have worked very hard for my money; producing things people need.

To succeed in business, to reach the top, an individual must know all it is possible to know about that business.

I find all this money a considerable burden.
