If it wasn't for O'Flanagan's Pub on Manhattan's Upper East Side, I don't know where I would have spent my Friday nights as a young man.

The estate taxes, on balance, are good. They get people to give money to charity, and they prevent these family dynasties which keep other people from having opportunities. It may be good for a family, but for society it's probably not good. And I've always been in favor of having an estate tax.

You've got to give people a fair chance of saying what they believe, and then you've got to decide, "Do you believe 'em?"

I think it's a sign that the establishment is going to have to change. For too long they never thought about the average person, because the average person is not organized.

What you've got to do is be honest. Say what you believe. Give it to them straight. Just don't wuss out.

Don't be afraid to assert yourself, have confidence in your abilities and don't let the bastards get you down.

Buy what's deliverable, not what could be.
