- Boss
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
But I'd say my best boss was Tom Barr, who was a partner at Cravath, Swain & Moore in the 1960s. It's because I learned so much from him.

- Nov 07, 2020
I made a penny for each paper delivered every day, plus 2 cents for Sunday papers. I had 120 customers. For a 10-year-old kid in the 1940s, that was a lot of money.

- Feel
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You wouldn't go to a hospital, you wouldn't go to a law firm where the doctors and lawyers were not retained on merit: where they all had tenure regardless of competence. Parents feel the same way about schools that they send their children to.
- Live
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

Embrace a diversity of ideas. Embrace the fact that you can disagree with people and not be disagreeable. Embrace the fact that you can find common ground - if you disagree on nine out of 10 things, but can find common ground on that 10th, maybe you can make progress. If you can find common ground, you can accomplish great things.
- Matter

- Nov 07, 2020
It's a matter of priorities. Do you want to win, or would you like to sleep? Do you want to win, or would you like to take a day off?
- People

Most people are balancing 10 or 20 priorities. I have two. My family and my work.
- Children
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Unlike people of my generation, my children and my grandchildren have grown up living with, knowing, people who were outwardly gay and lesbian. And they have learned that they're just like us... And when you see that they're just like us, the rationale for discrimination melts away.
