It is not necessary to do extraordinary things to get extraordinary results.

Rule No. 1: Never lose money. Rule No. 2: Never forget Rule No.1.

Can you really explain to a fish what it’s like to walk on land? One day on land is worth a thousand years of talking about it, and one day running a business has exactly the same kind of value.

The most important investment you can make is in yourself.

Only when you combine sound intellect with emotional discipline do you get rational behavior.

In the 80s, when I was a little girl, this whole Midtown area was a different world. These are the streets that I walked, and learned my lessons on, and heard the music, and witnessed disenfranchised people, and people who just had dreams and hopes.

Many people seem to believe that Greenfield Village and the Edison Institute and Museum at Dearborn, with their specimens of earlier type of American life and industry, are just a kind of antiquarian hobby of mine. I do not deny that they have given me a great deal of interest and pleasure. But the project is vastly more than a hobby. It has very definite purposes, and I hope will have results lasting down the years. One purpose is to remind the public who visit it and sometimes there are thousands a day–of how farand how fast we have come in technical progress in the last century or so. If we have come so far and so fast, is it likely that we shall stop now?

There are some sick people in this world.

You can’t change other people or (some) conditions; you can change only your reactions to them.

I didn’t just come in on a load of turnips!

You’re only lonely if you’re not there for you.

It is a fabulous country, the only fabulous country; it is the only place where miracles not only happen, but they happen all of the time.

In the real world, nothing happens at the right place at the right time. It is the job of journalists and historians to correct that.

Life is not about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.
