I think that there is nothing, not even crime, more opposed to poetry, to philosophy, ay, to life itself than this incessant business.

Hell, there are no rules here - we're trying to accomplish something.

Business is never so healthy as when, like a chicken, it must do a certain amount of scratching around for what it gets.

If you listen to your fears, you will die never knowing what a great person you might have been.

In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.

If you can build a business up big enough, it's respectable.

Sometimes when you innovate, you make mistakes. It is best to admit them quickly, and get on with improving your other innovations.

Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

No enterprise is more likely to succeed than one concealed from the enemy until it is ripe for execution.

Being good in business is the most fascinating kind of art. Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art.
