Capital isn't scarce; vision is.

I've owned about 18 airplanes over the years, and I've never bought one of them new.

The two most important words I ever wrote were on that first Wal-Mart sign, ‘Satisfaction Guaranteed’. They're still up there, and they have made all the difference.

Some families sell their stocks off a little bit at a time to live high, and then - boom - somebody takes them over, and it all goes down the drain.

Each Wal-Mart store should reflect the values of its customers and support the vision they hold for their community.
