“The best way to protect yourself and your family in this time of uncertainty is to create wealth for yourself.”

“Great wealth is often created by the launching of great surprises, not by the launching of great enterprises.”

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

“Wealth creation is not a mathematical formula, as the truthseekingquant geeks still want everyone to believe. In the end, theirlack of real-world experience and pride corrupted their mathematicalgenius and destroyed them. You may be able to digitize a daVinci,but that does not make it daVinci. Creating wealth is personal. It iscreating assets, creating value, or whatever act of self-perpetuation thatdrives us to create a legacy.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”
