Yesterday I had the good fortune to see Sam Zell talk. His wisdom, intelligence, and incisiveness, delivered more directly than most are capable of, is refreshing and inspiring.

- Failure cannot be part of an entrepreneur’s vocabulary; even when it is unjustified, entrepreneurs are always confident.
