It is all one to me if a man comes from Sing Sing Prison or Harvard. We hire a man, not his history.

Anyone who says businessmen deal in facts, not fiction, has never read old five-year projections.

Everybody has to be somebody to somebody to be anybody.

I hope a start at getting some oil out of the enormous Alaska field isn't indefinitely mired in a bureaucratic morass as a result of our national concern for the ecology. This concern must not be so misguided, misdirected, misused that it serves to stop economic growth, to bankrupt companies, to stifle new development, new jobs, new horizons. In fighting new pollution and stemming present pollution, exciting, sometimes costly means and methods exist and others will evolve. But blanket legislative naysaying to expanding power and energy sources is stupid, self-defeating.

One's real worth is never a quantifiable thing.

If the shoe fits you're lucky.

If you've had a good time playing the game, you're a winner even if you lose.
