It's better to hang out with people better than you, ... Pick out associates whose behavior is better than yours and you'll drift in that direction.
An educational approach to money and investing struck me as a very good idea. People do form behavior habits very young on matters of money. I get calls every day from people who are in a financial hole.
I think it is a marvelous way to keep directors' interests and shareholders interests as closely aligned as possible, with both an upside and a downside component. Too often, people talk about interests being aligned when the directors get the upside and shareholders get the downside.
Basically, when you get to my age, you'll really measure your success in life by how many of the people you want to have love you actually do love you.
People always should know better. People don't get - they don't get smarter about things that get as basic as greed.
It's a big mistake to try and mislead people. They will turn around.

I have a wonderful family. I have a job that I love and wonderful people who help me with it. It can't get any better than that.

In the world of business, the people who are most successful are those who are doing what they love.
In the end we must have people to match our principles, not the reverse.
Success is having people love you that you want to have love you.
What we learn from history is that people don't learn from history.
The fact that people will be full of greed, fear, or folly is predictable. The sequence is not predictable.
