In business, you don’t get what you deserve, you get what you negotiate.

You will make all kinds of mistakes; but as long as you are generous and true, and also fierce, you cannot hurt the world or even seriously distress her.

No problem is so deep that it cannot be overcome, given the will of all parties, through discussion and negotiation rather than force and violence.

We don't point a pistol at our own forehead. That is not the way to conduct negotiations.

Religion is a great force—the only real motive force in the world; but what you fellows don't understand is that you must get a man through his own religion and not through yours.

My experience has shown me that we win justice quickest by rendering justice to the other party.
