I own buildings. I’m a builder; I know how to build. Nobody can build like I can build. Nobody. And the builders in New York will tell you that. I build the best product. And my name helps a lot.

Number one, I have great respect for women. I was the one that really broke the glass ceiling on behalf of women, more than anybody in the construction industry.

If you are a little different, or a little outrageous, or if you do things that are bold or controversial, the press is going to write about you.

You must work on improving your skills every day and never quit.

You don’t reward failure by promoting those responsible for it, because all you get is more failure.

Watch, listen, and learn. You can’t know it all yourself. Anyone who thinks they do is destined for mediocrity.

The most important persuasion tool you have in your entire arsenal is integrity.

I have learned that what is essential can sometimes be invisible to the eye. That’s where discernment comes in.

When you are truly interested in other people, you will learn what they are interested in and if they have a need for your product. If they like you, and most people like folks who take an interest in them, they’ll help you find people who do need what you have to sell, even if they don’t.

It’s a blip, not a catastrophe.

I believe success is achieved by ordinary people with extraordinary determination.

How about dreaming out loud? How about feeling that something can happen to make the world better and inspire people? Is that OK for one second?

There are no traffic jams on the extra mile.

The fact of the matter is, you don’t give up what’s natural. Anything I’ve fantasized about, I’ve done.

Accountability breeds responsibility.

If you don’t see yourself as a winner, then you cannot perform as a winner.

Getting up and moving forward is a choice.

It takes 20 years to build a reputation and 5 minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you’ll do things differently.

What distinguishes us from one another is our dreams, and what we do to make them come about.

Failure is a bruise, not a tattoo.

If you want to achieve excellence, you can get there today. As of this second, quit doing less-than-excellent work.
