Too many people overvalue what they are not and undervalue what they are.

Failure is success if we learn from it.

Pay your people the least possible and you'll get from them the same.

People who never get carried away should be.

Victory is sweetest when you've know defeat. Ability will never catch up with the demand for it. You pay for everything, even including speaking your mind (with or without one). Too many people overvalue what they are not and undervalue what they are.

I think legislative assaults on motorcyclists are totally emotionally, disproportionate and totally unfair....they're instigated and implemented by people who know nothing about motorcycling, but have a prejudice. It's easy to curb the freedoms of others when you see no immediate impact on your own.

People who stare deserve the looks they get.

The richest person in the world - in fact. All the riches in the world - couldn't provide you with anything like the endless, incredible loot available at your local library. You can measure the awareness, the breadth and the wisdom of a civilization, a nation, a people by the priority given to preserving these repositories of all that we are, all that we were, or will be.

When young, you're shocked by the number of people who turn out to have feet of clay. Older, you're surprised by the number of people who don't.

Some people as a result of adversity are sadder, wiser, kinder, more human. Most of us are better, though, when things go better.

People who say that money isn't the most important thing in the world are usually broke.

It ticks me no end when people get ticked off at those of us who comment audibly and in print on events and problems. That's what we're paid for. Why clutter up your mind with a bunch of facts that might inhibit the solve-ability of us who must express an opinion? After all, all the world cries out for a solution to its problems, and we supply them right and left. Come to think of it, it's we who should be giving our deplorers and detractors the blast; because 99% of the time they don't do as we say.

I think the terror most people are concerned with is the IRS.

The top people of the biggest companies are, surprisingly, often the nicest ones in their company I'm not sure, though, if they got there because they were good guys or that they're now good guys because they can afford to be.

Retirement kills more people than hard work ever did.

People who can’t see without glasses should wear them.

The dumbest people I know are those who know it all.

More often than not, things and people are as they appear.

There are a handful of companies who understand all successful business operations come down to three basic principles; People---Product---Profit. Without top people, you cannot do much with the other two.

Diversity: the art of thinking independently together.

Thinking well to be wise: planning well, wiser: doing well wisest and best of all.

Since we had nothing to do with our arrival and usually are not consulted about our departure, what makes so many of us think we're entitled to so much while we're here?

When those with ability at their job get to thinking they can't be done without, they're already on their way out.

It is unfortunate we can't buy many business executives for what they are worth and sell them for what they think they are worth.

SM is an abbreviation of both stock market and sadomasochism-- and there are those who think they are one and the same.

One cannot walk into an April day in a negative way. With spring, each man's plans and hopes result in new efforts, fresh actions. All of which has a mighty important bearing on the economy. There are those of us who think that the psychology of man, each and together, has more impact on markets, business, services and building and all the fabric of an economy than all the more measurable statistical indices.

I don't think anybody can be a success who doesn't like what they do. [But it's] no job if it has no challenge; there's nothing to it if there are no problems. The essential thing is liking what you're doing.

If you say what you think don't expect to hear only what you like.

To switch lads and lassies from quickie ceremonies back to the catered works in to-be-worm-only-once white dresses, the [wedding] garment producers have turned to sociology. Through statistics as carefully laid out as a bridal train, they are establishing a correlation showing a higher divorce rate for the informally gowned.... They may just have something there.... If a bride has sunk a bunk of savings into a dress she can't use again in a second wedding, she might think twice about having a second.

It's never a good deal when only one party thinks it is.

I think the terror most people are concerned with is the IRS.

I think the foremost quality - there's no success without it - is really loving what you do. If you love it, you do it well, and there's no success if you don't do well what you're working at.

Few businessmen are capable of being in politics, they don't understand the democratic process, they have neither the tolerance or the depth it takes. Democracy isn't a business.

The best vision is insight.

Never hire someone who knows less than you do about what he's hired to do.

It is all one to me if a man comes from Sing Sing Prison or Harvard. We hire a man, not his history.

Pay your people the least possible and you'll get from them the same.

Economists' unanimity that bad business is ahead is the most reassuring news possible. It's very unlikely that this will be the one time they're right.

Speculator: One who bought stocks that went down.

It's never too late to learn.

If you have a job without aggravations, you don't have a job.

Noone's a leader if there are no followers..

The purpose of education is to replace an empty mind with an open one.

The biggest mistake people make in life is not trying to make a living at doing what they most enjoy.

The best vision is insight.

If you expect nothing, you're apt to be surprised. You'll get it.

Elected leaders who forget how they got there won't the next time.

When things are bad, we take comfort in the thought that they could always get worse. And when they are, we find hope in the thought that things are so bad they have to get better.
