The best career advice to give to the young is, 'Find out what you like doing best and get someone to pay you for doing it.'

I am all for people having their heart in the right place; but the right place for a heart is not inside the head.

The rule is not to talk about money with people who have much more or much less than you.

Outside every thin woman is a fat man trying to get in.

I learned a long time ago that fame and money is not a ticket to happiness.

Investment is crucial. Because the truth is, you only get jobs and growth in the economy when people invest money, at their own risk, in setting up a business or expanding an existing business.

I don't think you expand entitlements when so many people are dependent on government and when the money the federal government is offering is going to be taken away from you after just a couple of years.

When you are buying companies, everyone in the company feels very good. Their chests are puffed out. At Blackstone, I used to tell people that there is nothing more fun than buying a company with somebody else's money. The business is growing, which creates more opportunity for your employees.
