If we take care of the business and keep our eye on the goal line, the stock price will take care of itself.

There was a proposal in California that would keep out Wal-Mart but allow Costco. You opposed it. Are you nuts? That's true: I always oppose these kinds of things. Competition makes us better. Some of our best stores have a Sam's Club next door.

It doesn't do Costco any good if nobody can afford to buy anything.

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.

If we take care of the business and keep our eye on the goal line, the stock price will take care of itself.

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

We've always been in favor of improved wages for workers. When you have a strong middle class, they want to buy more stuff at Costco.
