A business that makes nothing but money is a poor business.

The highest use of capital is not to make more money, but to make money do more for the betterment of life.

Money is only a tool in business. It is just a part of the machinery. You might as well borrow 100,000 lathes as $100,000 if the trouble is inside your business. More lathes will not cure it; neither will more money. Only heavier doses of brains and thought and wise courage can cure. A business that misuses what it has will continue to misuse what it can get.

I always invest my own money in the companies that I create. I don't believe in the whole thing of just using other people's money. I don't think that's right. I'm not going to ask other people to invest in something if I'm not prepared to do so myself.

Money is not the motivating force. It's nice to have money, but I don't live high. What I enjoy is running the business.

Pretty much, Apple and Dell are the only ones in this industry making money. They make it by being WalMart. We make it by innovation.
