When you're rich you don't write checks.

I'd rather write a check than make myself look ridiculous.

I didn't want to take anybody else's money. I wanted to do something small that could be profitable from the beginning, and grow that way - and never need someone to write me a check to keep the business going.

There's so little money in my bank account, my scenic checks show a ghetto.

You know, my problem is I can't say no to people, especially people who want to write me checks to do things.

I'm not the hands-on guy. I like writing the check, and I turn it over to the guys that make it happen, much like the way I ran my business.

The buck stops with the guy who signs the checks.

In America, people with lots of money can easily avoid the consequences of bad bets and big losses by cashing out at the first sign of trouble.

You know, gentlemen, that I do not owe any personal income tax. But nevertheless, I send a small check, now and then, to the Internal Revenue Service out of the kindness of my heart.

Yesterday is a cancelled check. Today is cash on the line. Tomorrow is a promissory note.
