I think it's a terrible shame that politics has become show business.

When I was in college I was debating to try my hand at show business or to become a professor. I just thought of the risk of not going into show business and always wondering if I would've had a chance. Because that's where my real heart was.

I started out mopping floors waiting tables and tending bar at my dad's tavern. I put myself through school working odd jobs and night shifts. I poured my heart and soul into a small business. And when I saw how out-of-touch Washington had become with the core values of this great nation I put my name forward and ran for office.

Writing fiction has become a priestly business in countries that have lost their faith.

The life of a man who deliberately runs through his fortune often becomes a business speculation his friends his pleasures patrons and acquaintances are his capital.

Washington has to become an ally of business not the opposition of business.

What we actually learn from any given set of circumstances determines whether we become increasingly powerless or more powerful.

One's mind has a way of making itself up in the background and it suddenly becomes clear what one means to do.

When did it become a problem to be a small businessman and become successful? The small businessman - like my father or like me?

One of the tests of leadership is the ability to recognize a problem before it becomes an emergency.
