Obscene salaries send the wrong message through a company.

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

I think the biggest single thing that causes difficulty in the business world is the short-term view. We become obsessed with it. But it forces bad decisions.

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 just can't get too focused on worrying about what's going to happen in the next quarter. You have to worry about where the business is headed long-term.

Our attitude is that if you hire good people and pay them a fair wage, then good things will happen for the company.

I think that most of the people running companies today are motivated and pay is a small portion of the motivation.
