<h1>Quotable Quotes</h1>
<ul>
<li>
<p>My advice to people (entrepreneurs) is: expect to work your ass off, think long term, ignore the naysayers.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Maintain your reputation at all costs. It can take you 50 years to build a reputation and one bad deal can ruin it. So, protect it at all costs.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Don’t live up to your income.</p>
</li>
