I would rather receive one percent of the income of 100 men, than 100% of the income of one man.

In business, as in politics, it is never easy to go against the beliefs and attitudes held by the majority. The businessman who moves counter to the tide of prevailing opinion must expect to be obstructed, derided and damned.

Each [of my wives] was jealous and resentful of my preoccupation with business. Yet none showed any visible aversion to sharing in the proceeds.

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.

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

People who don't respect money don't have any.

No one can possibly achieve any real and lasting success or 'get rich' in business by being a conformist.
