• “Invest in companies which have strong management and competitive management.”
• “Stock markets are always right. Never time the market”
• “When opportunities come, they can come through technology, marketing, brands, value protections, capital, etc. You need to be able to spot those.”
• “Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.”
