A lot of great fortunes in the world have been made by owning a single wonderful business. If you understand the business, you don't need to own very many of them.

I would say the most satisfying thing actually is watching my three children each pick up on their own interests and work many more hours per week than most people that have jobs at trying to intelligently give away that money in fields that they particularly care about.

Money is not everything. Make sure you earn a lot before speaking such nonsense.

Like I say, I don't think it'll be done perfectly. Maybe we'll end up with a little bit better [economy] system.

You can't make a good deal with a bad person.

You can lose leverage, and it's the only way a smart guy can go broke.

If you buy things you do not need, soon you will have to sell things you need.
