Companies that have been built and operated for a long time are the most successful companies.

First of all, every new company today is being built in the face of massive economic headwinds, making the challenge far greater than it was in the relatively benign '90s.

During dark times, real entrepreneurs come out. They are not competing with 10 look-alike companies for engineering talent, so it's a great time to invest and help build companies.

We're building a great company, and we're very excited about the future of the company.

I hope there will be some good news and some good profits, and people will realize we have a lot of outstanding executives, and a lot of companies that are doing a good job, and those are good companies to invest in.

Lots of companies don't succeed over time. What do they fundamentally do wrong? They usually miss the future.

I'm a strong believer that you can build great companies in time of both greed and fear. But you have to be paying attention and operating under the right assumptions. You don't have to believe history repeats itself, but you should accept that history rhymes.

You don't know this when you're young, but over time, you see that great companies are usually built at a special point in time.

You know, a lot of people are just interested in, in building a company so they can make money and get out.
