Hopeless cases: Executives who assert themselves by saying No when they should say Yes.

I don't waste too much time philosophizing about wealth, I just recommend it to everyone.

When things are bad, we take comfort in the thought that they could always get worse. And when they are, we find hope in the thought that things are so bad they have to get better.

One who never asks either knows everything or nothing.

It's more fun to arrive a conclusion than to justify it.

Some of the biggest bores I've ever known are men who have been highly successful in business, particularly self-made heads of big companies. Before the first olive has settled into the first martini, they pour the stories of their lives into the nearest and sometimes the remotest ears capturable.... These men have indeed paid the price of success. To rise to the top of a big company often takes a totality of effort, concentration and dedication. Others, too, have to pay part of the price. Wife and children are out of mind even when in sight.

If you say what you think don't expect to hear only what you like.
