I don’t create companies for the sake of creating companies, but to get things done.

When you are president, being able to clearly articulate detailed plans to help the people of this country is a good thing. Knowing what you’re doing is a good thing. And let me tell you, Hillary Clinton absolutely knows what she’s doing.

When I get on a roll with something, it’s really hard for me to put it down unfinished.

No man is good enough to govern another man without the other’s consent.

Time is money.

He who seeks rest finds boredom. He who seeks work finds rest.

A hero is born among a hundred, a wise man is found among a thousand, but an accomplished one might not be found even among a hundred thousand men.

Put two or three men in positions of conflicting authority. This will force them to work at loggerheads, allowing you to be the ultimate arbiter.

Groups that rose from poverty to prosperity seldom did so by having their own racial or ethnic leaders to follow.

It may be the cock that crows, but it is the hen that lays the eggs.

From my very first day as an entrepreneur, I’ve felt the only mission worth pursuing in business is to make people’s lives better.

I’m asking myself, ‚What do my girls, what do all our children deserve in their president? What kind of a president do we want for them?‘ Well, to start with, I think we want someone who is a unifying force in this country: someone who sees our differences not as a threat, but as a blessing.

Justice and power must be brought together, so that whatever is just may be powerful, and whatever is powerful may be just.

Everywhere I go I find that people… both leaders and individuals… are asking one basic question, ‚Is there any hope for the future?‘ My answer is the same, ‚Yes, through Jesus Christ.‘

It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.

I got an album concept called ‚Exit Strategy,‘ that might be one of my last ones. It’s a term they use in business when you build companies. You create an exit strategy as you make a company. You don’t wait till you’re five years in it; you create a exit strategy as you make the company.

If you tell people where to go, but not how to get there, you’ll be amazed at the results.

I’m kind of fascist with myself, you know.

People have got to know whether or not their president is a crook. Well, I’m not a crook. I earned everything I’ve got.

If there was nothing wrong in the world there wouldn’t be anything for us to do.

A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle.

A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination.

The leaders come up from the volunteers that do the work, and it’s amazing because then they do these incredible things in their community that they never thought they had the power to make that happen.

I’m a mentor to anybody who’s interested.

Back in the day, what motivated me was overcoming myself. Now I believe in being a leader. I’ve done it all – I’m good. Now, it’s about setting an example for others to follow. I can’t just talk it – I have to live it.

I don’t know about other people, but I love to work.

If I can be a leader, I will.

90 percent of my time is spent on 10 percent of the world.

People invest in businesses that they believe have the leadership, mission and team to grow and operate profitably.

Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs, he is too weak to pull the plough, he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits. Yet he is lord of all the animals.

I am confident that when the facts and policies have been examined, when the record of performances have been reviewed, Barack Obama and Joe Biden will once again be elected to lead our beloved country to a better future.

Our chief justices have probably had more profound and lasting influence on their times and on the direction of the nation than most presidents.

One leader, one people, signifies one master and millions of slaves.

There’s no reason why I can’t be a mogul. When I step into a room and I’m there to have a conversation, if it pertains to business, I want to be respected as a guy who knows what he’s talking about. And that, to me, holds more weight than anything else.

The army teaches boys to think like men.

Read a record number of books in a given month. If you’re focused on intellectual growth, train yourself to study harder and longer than ever before.

I love big business!

I’m in this business to be creative – I’ll even diminish it and say to be a content provider.

When there is a lack of honor in government, the morals of the whole people are poisoned.

I hate letting my teammates down. I know I’m not going to make every shot. Sometimes I try to make the right play, and if it results in a loss, I feel awful. I don’t feel awful because I have to answer questions about it. I feel awful in that locker room because I could have done something more to help my teammates win.

As a leader, the first person I need to lead is me. The first person that I should try to change is me.

If you love something – and there are things that I love – you do want more and more and more of it, but that’s not the way to produce good work.

The nose of a mob is its imagination. By this, at any time, it can be quietly led.

We can’t allow the world’s worst leaders to blackmail, threaten, hold freedom-loving nations hostage with the world’s worst weapons.

Progressively saved by the machine from the anxieties that bound his hands and mind to material toil, relieved of a large part of his work and compelled to an ever-increasing speed of action by the devices which his intelligence cannot help ceaselessly creating and perfecting, man is about to find himself abruptly plunged into idleness.

I’m bloody awful at multi-tasking.

The brain is a wonderful organ; it starts working the moment you get up in the morning and does not stop until you get into the office.

I have always believed in evolving a consensus before taking any major decision.

If we could just find out who’s in charge, we could kill him.

Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.

He who waits to do a great deal of good at once will never do anything.

Like every man of sense and good feeling, I abominate work.

Work is of two kinds: first, altering the position of matter at or near the earth’s surface relative to other matter; second, telling other people to do so.

In America the President reigns for four years, and Journalism governs forever and ever.

I believe the most solemn duty of the American president is to protect the American people. If America shows uncertainty and weakness in this decade, the world will drift toward tragedy. This will not happen on my watch.

The last thing I wanted to do was to be a wartime President.

When you get to be President, there are all those things, the honors, the twenty-one gun salutes, all those things. You have to remember it isn’t for you. It’s for the Presidency.
