“Remember, my son, that any man who is a bear on the future of this country will go broke.”

“When you expect things to happen, strangely enough, they do happen.”

“Millionaires don't use astrology, billionaires do.”

“Go as far as you can see; when you get there, you'll be able to see farther.”

“If you have to ask how much it costs, you can't afford it.”

“The first thing is character... before money or anything else. Money cannot buy it.”

“You can't unscramble eggs.”
