You take an educated gamble. If you don't occasionally make a mistake, you're not doing your job.

In the final analysis, you get what you pay for.

If you've got to work for the rest of your life, you'd better do something you'll enjoy.

You don't have a very motivated working class, it starts to affect the dynamics of the economy. If workers are disenchanted and disenfranchised, productivity losses will go along with that.

Paying your employees well is not only the right thing to do but it makes for good business.

If you're going to say to all the people that you're working with, 'We want you to treat the customers honestly; don't lie and don't cheat,' it is somewhat hypocritical if you're not following the same rules.

You have to worry about where the business is headed long-term.
