I know I lost my temper, but I tried to be human along the way.

All things share the same breath – the beast, the tree, the man… the air shares its spirit with all the life it supports.

The strength in our third-quarter financial results is cause for excitement. I’m particularly pleased that we continue to demonstrate impressive growth at the same time we are engaged in important merger discussions.

I never thought anything like that would have gone on.

I guess the one question I will not get today is: When are you going to do anything about cellular?

I put those people in place. I trusted them. I had no idea they would do anything like this.

I do not believe I have anything to hide, I believe that no one will conclude that I engaged in any criminal or fraudulent conduct.

I used practically all the money I had available.

I just want you to know you aren’t going to church with a crook.

I know what I don’t know. To this day, I don’t know technology, and I don’t know finance or accounting.

The coach’s job is to get the best players and get them to play together.

I didn’t have anything to apologize for.

We have the right assets for a fast-growing digital business.

I don’t know technology and engineering. I don’t know accounting.

I expected results.

Man does not weave this web of life. He is merely a strand of it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.

I have some assets that over time will be worth something. I’ve been in the process of selling others.

Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect.

Our investments in data, Internet and international have been particularly timely and have positioned the company to post industry-leading incremental revenue gains.
