In business, you're trying to make a buck. God was good to me and blessed me. I made some money and started this foundation years ago, and it has grown in size. With the foundation it's a lot different, because the bottom line isn't how you can make more money or get a better return, it's helping the projects that you feel strongly about move forward.

If you own up to your mistakes, you don't suffer as much. But that's a tough lesson to learn.

In the old days, if a neighbors apples fell into your yard, you worked it out over the back fence or picked them up and made pies. Today, you sue.

If a guy is over 25 percent jerk, he's in trouble. And Henry was 95 percent.

I have found that being honest is the best technique I can use. Right up front, tell people what you're trying to accomplish and what you're willing to sacrifice to accomplish it.

Bad times are indelible. They stay with you forever.

A good deal is a state of mind.
