When a fissure off the California coast started pumping and dumping oil on the nearby towns and beaches, everybody started dumping on Union Oil. Matters weren't helped one iota by a manufactured quotation attributed to Union's president, Fred Hartley, alleging his amazement at the publicity for the loss of a few birds.... Fred Hartley never said what the press reported, as the transcript and the Senate committee members definitely established. But I don't suppose the truth will ever catch up with the more colorful falsehood.

As you get older, don't slow down. Speed up. There's less time left!

It's never too late to learn.

Keeping score of old scores and scars, getting even and one-upping, always makes you less than you are.

At the heart of any good business is a chief executive officer with one.

When it's your own fault, things hurt worse than when someone else is to blame.

It is never too late to learn.
