I make a great deal of money from 40 Wall St.. Aside from owning the most beautiful building in lower Manhattan, I have the added attraction of owning a particularly lucrative one.
I think that you are going to have to spend a great deal of money in order to get elected, ... especially coming out of the Reform Party, which has a big disadvantage, because it hasn't been there very long. If I spend the money, I think I could win.
I'm worth far too much money. I don't need anybody's money.
I have respect for Senator McCain. I used to like him a lot. I supported him. I raised a lot of money for his campaign against President Obama.
We can't let people down when they can't get any medical care, when they're sick and don't have money to go to a doctor. You help them.
I will bring our energy companies back. They'll be able to compete. They'll make money. They'll pay off our national debt. They'll pay off our tremendous budget deficits, which are tremendous.
You're generally better off sticking with what you know.
Not teaching your kids about money is like not caring whether they eat. If they enter the world without financial knowledge, they will have a much harder go of it.
The real excitement is playing the game.
Money was never a big motivation for me, except as a way to keep score. The real excitement is playing the game.
Experience taught me a few things. One is to listen to your gut, no matter how good something sounds on paper. The second is that you're generally better off sticking with what you know. And the third is that sometimes your best investments are the ones you don't make.
Many people are afraid to fail, so they don't try. They may dream, talk, and even plan, but they don't take that critical step of putting their money and their effort on the line. To succeed in business, you must take risks. Even if you fail, that's how you learn. There has never been, and will never be, an Olympic skater who didn't fall on the ice.
I've known people who had fantastic ideas, but who couldn't get the idea off the ground because they approached everything weakly. They thought that their ideas would somehow take off by themselves, or that just coming up with an idea was enough. Let me tell you something - it's not enough. It will never be enough. You have to put the idea into action. If you don't have the motivation and the enthusiasm, your great idea will simply sit on top of your desk or inside your head and go nowhere.
