Obscene salaries send the wrong message through a company.

When you hire good people, and you provide good jobs and good wages and a career, good things are going to happen.

Our attitude has always been that if you hire good people and provide good wages and good jobs and more than that - if you provide careers - that good things will happen to your company. I think we can say that that has been proved by the quality of people that we have and how they have built our organization.

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.

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.

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

Paying good wages is not in opposition to good productivity.
