Any Fool Can Buy A Company; Just

If You Don't Have Integrity, You Have Nothing. You Can't Buy It. You Can Have All The Money In The World, But If You Are Not A Moral And Ethical Person, You Really Have Nothing.

I Was An Economics Major In College, And Every Summer After School, I Would Drive My Car From California, From Claremont Men's College At The Time, To New York. And I Worked On Wall Street.

I Love The Ability To Work With Very Good Managers, And To Provide The Right Incentives For Them, And Truly Become A Partner With That Management, And Make That Management Take A Long View.

To Understand Kkr, I Always Like To Say, Don't Congratulate Us When We Buy A Company. Any Fool Can Buy A Company. Congratulate Us When We Sell It And When We've Done Something With It And Created Real Value.

As I Said There Is Nothing Wrong With Failing. Pick Yourself Up And Try It Again. You Never Are Going To Know How Good You Really Are Until You Go Out And Face Failure.
