“Always hire people who are better than you. Hiring dummies is shortsighted. You can't move up the ladder until everyone is comfortable with your replacement.”
“I don't think I've had a holiday in my entire life that wasn't about my dad's work.”
“I seek no values by means of evil, nor do I surrender my values to evil.”
“It is an unfortunate fact that we can secure peace only by preparing for war.”
