  • Money is like manure. You have to spread it around or it smells.

  • Formula for success: rise early, work hard, strike oil.

  • No one can possibly achieve any real and lasting success or 'get rich' in business by being a conformist.

  • I hate to be a failure. I hate and regret the failure of my marriages. I would gladly give all my millions for just one lasting marital success.

  • Going to work for a large company is like getting on a train. Are you going sixty miles an hour or is the train going sixty miles an hour and you're just sitting still?
