“If you need an alarm clock, you need a new job.”

“Never explain yourself. Your friends don’t need it and your enemies won’t believe it.”

“This nation was founded on the principle of wealth creation. Asa young Henry Clay said in the House of Representatives in 1812,“It [wealth creation] is a passion as unconquerable as any with whichnature has endowed us. You may attempt to regulate—you cannotdestroy it.” That is supposed to be the federal government’s primary objective.It is supposed to promote the creation of an environment conduciveto the creation of wealth—not job creation, not bailouts, not subsidies,not expansion of the federal bureaucracy, and not providing lifetimesupport to those who choose not to take advantage of the innumerableopportunities that exist in this nation for them to create a better,more productive life for themselves.”

“I am not in the market to create jobs, build anempire, or leave a legacy; those are the positive fallout of successfuleconomic warfare. My prime objective is wealth creation.”

“I strongly support liquidating the corporation that is the FederalReserve and returning to a monetary system based on a marketproducedprecious metal, like gold, which is represented by a currencyprinted and managed by the U.S. Treasury Department as stipulatedby our Constitution.

“trade and wealth creation is not all upside. It is failure, too.Failure is a necessary component to growth and success. Babe Ruthstruck out 1,330 times but also hit 714 home runs. We need to letfailing entities fail. Only then will successful people turn these enterprisesback into wealth-creating vehicles again. “Too big to fail” is aconcept that perpetuates failure and saps vitality from the rest of thewealth creators to do so.”
