“I’ll keep it short and sweet. Family, religion, friendship. These are the three demons you must slay if you wish to succeed in business. When opportunity knocks, you don’t want to be driving to a maternity hospital or sitting in some phony-baloney church. Or synagogue.”

“Hypocrisy versus authenticity among men is not always so black and white, and as is righteousness, humility is often self-proclaimed.
