Time is the friend of the wonderful company, the enemy of the mediocre.

If a business does well, the stock eventually follows.

I try to buy stock in businesses that are so wonderful that an idiot can run them. Because sooner or later, one will.

This is a fantastic time to be entering the business world, because business is going to change more in the next 10 years than it has in the last 50.

The stores and the things like that, the business side of things came out at the point when, I'd say probably in the early '70s, it looked like the year of the singer-songwriter was over, 'cause music changed in our time and the spotlight was out.

To turn really interesting ideas and fledgling technologies into a company that can continue to innovate for years, it requires a lot of disciplines.
