Quotes
- “Pan Am takes good care of you. Marks & Spencer loves you. Securicor cares. I.B.M. says the customer is king. At Amstrad, we want your money!”
- “If there was a market in mass-produced portable nuclear weapons, we'd market them, too.”
- “My history of lending money from banks is that they want to know the ins and outs of the backside of a duck.”
- “I don’t believe in God and all that. But I am Jewish, and very proud to be so, very proud of the culture.”
- “I came from an environment where I needed to succeed. There was no wealth or anything like that in the family. Not that we were paupers, but we had to fend for ourselves. Kids today are not as hungry as I was. They don’t understand how tough my generation was.”
- “If you take care of your character, your reputation will take care of itself.”
