Had anyone told me that I was going to have a career in business I would have said 'No way.'

You wouldn't want to be called a sell-out by selling a product. Selling out was frowned on whereas now you can major in it at business school.

There is no business in America that would be prevented from taking results into account when making personnel decisions.

I don't have more money. I won't have more money than any of the candidates even the Republican candidates. We know that already. But we are building this campaign team like I would build a business. And that is we are building it so far with no debt.

The 9-9-9 plan would resuscitate this economy because it replaces the outdated tax code that allows politicians to pick winners and losers and to provide favors in the form of tax breaks special exemptions and loopholes. It simplifies the code dramatically: 9% business flat tax 9% personal flat tax 9% sales tax.

The death of any man aged 56 is very sad for his widow and family. And no one would deny that Steve Jobs was a brilliant and highly innovative technician with great business flair and marketing ability.

The sad truth is that without complex business partnerships between African elites and European traders and commercial agents the slave trade to the New World would have been impossible at least on the scale it occurred.

We must have ideals and try to live up to them even if we never quite succeed. Life would be a sorry business without them. With them it's grand and great.

If I could set a world record it would be that I have 150 business partners all with thriving businesses of their own that started with nothing and I made the difference to make them all billionaires.

Many people would no more think of entering journalism than the sewage business - which at least does us all some good.
