We're not in this for the fast money. Really,
what we want is to be part of this industry.

As more money flowed through Washington
and as Washington's power to regulate our
lives grew, opportunities and temptations
for graft, influence peddling and cutting
corners grew exponentially. Power breeds
corruption.

The flat tax would be so simple, you could
fill it out on a post card. A post card
that would say, in effect, having a wonderful
time; glad most of my money is here.

If money is your hope for independence you
will never have it. The only real security
that a man will have in this world is a
reserve of knowledge, experience, and ability.

Nobody spends somebody else's money as carefully
as he spends his own. Nobody uses somebody
else's resources as carefully as he uses
his own. So if you want efficiency and effectiveness,
if you want knowledge to be properly utilized,
you have to do it through the means of private
property.

The individual investor should act consistently
as an investor and not as a speculator.
This means.. that he should be able to justify
every purchase he makes and each price he
pays by impersonal, objective reasoning
that satisfies him that he is getting more
than his money's worth for his purchase.

I could have closed down bits of British
Home Stores to make more money but its
not my style. I want to make my money as
a retailer, not by putting people out of
work.

It has been my experience that competency
in mathematics, both in numerical manipulations
and in understanding its conceptual foundations,
enhances a person's ability to handle the
more ambiguous and qualitative relationships
that dominate our day-to-day financial decision-making

The Internet doesn't change everything.
It doesn't change supply and demand. It
doesn't magically allow you to build businesses
by turning investors' money into operating
expenses indefinitely. The money always
runs out eventually.. the Internet doesn't
change that, as we have seen.

The boom was healthy too, even with its
excesses. Because what this incredible
valuation craze did was draw untold sums
of billions of dollars into building the
Internet infrastructure. The hundreds
of billions of dollars that got invested
in telecommunications, for example.

We've got the most prosperous culture
in human history and we've also got the
biggest spiritual hole in human history.
People are saying, "I can't fill
the hole with money. I can't fill it with
alcohol, or drugs, or sex, so what do
I need to fill it with?"

Now we've got around seven thousand people
working, and that to me is fantastically
satisfying.. more than dollars and cents,
because I just believe that the greatest

Money is human kind's greatest invention.
Money doesn't discriminate. Money doesn't
care whether a person is poor, whether
a person comes from a good family, or
what his skin color is. Anybody can make
money.

I always had faith in the internet. I
believed in it and thought it was obviously
going to change the way the world worked.
I really did not understand why others
were selling their stock. As stock prices
plunged, I just bought them, one after
another, since I had the money. I guess
I was rather lucky.

The faster we grew, the more stores we
had open, the more money we made. Employees
move quickly up the ranks of a company
that's growing fast. Shareholders made
a lot of money. If you invested $25,000
from January 1987 to January 1994, you'd
have more than a million dollars. I get
a lot of personal satisfaction from that.

Our philosophy has been to be fiscally
conservative, so we can be operationally
aggressive. We're not using borrowed money
to grow. So we'll put up a store just
to get there before the competition. If
it doesn't work, we'll close it and lose
a little equity. It won't kill us.

My father used to say, You can spend
a lot of time making money. The tough
time comes when you have to give it away
properly. How to give something
back, thats the tough part in life.

In business, youre trying to make
a buck. God was good to me and blessed
me. I made some money and started this
foundation years ago, and it has grown
in size. With the foundation its
a lot different, because the bottom line
isnt how you can make more money
or get a better return, its helping
the projects that you feel strongly about
move forward.

I was fortunate to get a scholarship when
I went to Lehigh University and Princeton.
They were both wonderful schools. Somebody
was kind enough to spend their money to
educate people that they would never get
to know. Thats what I think philanthropy
is about.

You cannot spend money in luxury without
doing good to the poor. Nay, you do more
good to them by spending it in luxury,
than by giving it; for by spending it
in luxury, you make them exert industry,
whereas by giving it, you keep them idle.
