“Work hard, have fun and make history.”

You know, we love stories and we love narrative; we love to get lost in an author’s world.

There’ll always be serendipity involved in discovery.

Cleverness is a gift, kindness is a choice.

Focusing on the customer makes a company more resilient.

It’s harder to be kind than clever.

What we need to do is always lean into the future; when the world changes around you and when it changes against you – what used to be a tail wind is now a head wind – you have to lean into that and figure out what to do because complaining isn’t a strategy.

Always do business as if the person you’re doing business with is trying to screw you, because he probably is. And if he’s not, you can be pleasantly surprised.

The only question with wealth is, what do you do with it?

It has always been my rule in business to make everything count.

Be patient with me, dear heart. The art of loving is a peculiar business when one has spent an eternity hating themselves.

Avoid, as you would the plague, a clergyman who is also a man of business.
