'You're fired' was not a part of the deal. And when I went into the first board room, the very first one, I'm looking at these people, and I had to fire somebody, but we never thought in terms of the expression 'You're fired.'

Some suggestions for you :

It's a great thing when you can show that you've been successful and that you've made a lot of money and that you've employed a lot of people.

I have made the tough decisions, always with an eye toward the bottom line. Perhaps it's time America was run like a business.

I was a Democrat for a period of time early on. And then I was also an independent. And then I became a Republican.

The problems we face now - poverty and violence at home, war and destruction abroad - will last only as long as we continue relying on the same politicians who created them in the first place.

Between myself, my brother, my father, and my wife, we have four of the 1,500 concealed carry permits for New York City, which is one of the most difficult carry licenses to get anywhere in the world and certainly in the United States. It is something we believe in fundamentally.

If I were a liberal Democrat, people would say I'm the super genius of all time. The super genius of all time. If you're a conservative Republican, you've got to fight for your life. It's really an amazing thing.

Sometimes your best investments are the ones you don't make.

I don't make deals for the money. I've got enough, much more than I'll ever need. I do it to do it.

I grew up in New York City, a town with different races, religions, and peoples. It breeds tolerance.

In our family, if you weren't competitive, you didn't eat. You had to fight for what you wanted.

So to all Americans, in every city near and far, small and large, from mountain to mountain, and from ocean to ocean, hear these words: You will never be ignored again. Your voice, your hopes, and your dreams will define our American destiny. And your courage and goodness and love will forever guide us along the way.

My wife and I like to cook, so we actually prepare our own meals often and can hold our own in the kitchen.

Ronald Reagan became, you know, not only a Republican but a pretty conservative Republican - not the most. But a pretty conservative Republican. And he's somebody that I actually knew and liked. And he liked me. And I worked with him and helped him.

If you're going to be thinking, you may as well think big.
