• We believe there should be a huge area between everything you should do and everything you can do without getting into legal trouble. I don't think you should come anywhere near that line. We don't deserve much credit for this. It helps us make more money. I'd like to believe that we'd behave well even if it didn't work. But more often, we've made extra money from doing the right thing. Ben Franklin said I'm not moral because of it's the right thing to do - but because it's the best policy.

• Como escritor, político, científico y hombre de negocios, [Ben] Franklin tuvo pocos iguales entre los educados de su época, aunque dejó la escuela a los diez años. (...) Chicos como Andrew Carnegie, que suplicó a su madre que no le enviara a la escuela y que iba camino de la inmortalidad y la fortuna a los trece años, hoy serían remitidos a terapia psicológica; Thomas Edison se encontraría en educación especial hasta que su peculiar genio hubiera sido suficientemente domado.

• ¿Por qué, hace sólo un par de temporadas económicas, el dinero inactivo se consideraba un indicio de mala gestión o de gestión perezosa? Porque significaba que la dirección no tenía ese dinero en el trabajo ... Ahora mira. ¡Presto! ¡Una nueva moda! ¡El efectivo vuelve a estar de moda! Denigrar la liquidez ha caído más rápido que los dobladillos. Ahora se saluda a una dirección que tiene algo de efectivo, algo de liquidez, que no tiene que acudir al mercado monetario a enormes tipos de interés para conseguir los medios que le permitan seguir adelante y crecer. Junto con Ben Franklin, mi padre y su padre entenderían y aplaudirían esta nueva moda económica.

• We are redeemed one man at a time. There is no family pass ticket or park hopping pass to life. One ticket - one at a time. Man doesn't vanquish hatred or bigotry. The target keeps moving. From the blacks to the Irish; atheists to Christians. But as always there are a few leaders: Ben Franklin, John Quincy Adams, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Abraham Lincoln, Fredrick Douglas, Booker T Washington, Ghandi and Martin Luther King. They know that the march toward freedom never ends, man must be ever vigilant and pray less with his lips and more with his legs.
