“Never let yourself be pushed around--but treat the good people great.”

“It is an oft-repeated axiom that a person can learn a whole lot abouta society by how it treats its poor; but just as much may be learnedby looking at how that same society treats its rich. Indeed, the economicfuture of the poor—and our nation—will be determined in the coming decades by how we treat the people in this country who create great wealth. It will be determined by our understanding of theso-called rich and by our need to foster and protect this minority oftrue wealth creators.”

“You may lose people you love. You may lose things you had.. but no matter what, never lose yourself.”

“Don't blame people for who they are, blame yourself for thinking they were different.”

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

“I believe that to create real wealth one must be willing to abandonone’s limited thinking, remove the boundaries around our abundance,and stop outlining how it is to appear in our lives. Remember not tocreate boundaries and remember not to define the outcome. Mostimportantly, stop letting people who are motivated by jealousy andenvy dictate what your limitations are.”

“Until the Fed lets us have a real recession, as painful as that may be, we are never gonna have a recovery.”
