“Businesses, like babies and books, need nurturing, time, energy, love, planning and, yes, money to develop, grow and prosper.”

“Maybe there were people out there whose love could survive anything, but mine was fragile. It needed to be nurtured in order to thrive and grow.”

“Superstition, like true love, needs time to grow and reflect upon itself.”

“There was a guy with extra millions in the bank. And he spent all his free time, all his energy, spending his money. His cars, his houses, his vacations. Just like the rich bankers here in Luxembourg, whose business was making money and whose passion was spending it.”

“I don't have time, energy, or interest in hating the haters; I'm too busy loving the lovers.”

“There are few experiences in life as painful and brutal as the failure of a small business. For a small business conceived and nurtured by its owner is like a living, breathing child. Its loss is no less traumatic than losing a loved one.”
