I'd Rather Be Respected Than Loved.

Civilizations Are Not Remembered By Their Business People, Their Bankers Or Lawyers. They're Remembered By The Arts.

At A Time When All The Other Builders Were Selling Homes With Basements But Without Carports, We Would Sell Homes Without Basements And With Carports. This Allowed Us To Provide A More Appealing Product At A Lower Price. In Other Words, We Felt We Would Be Giving Customers Greater Value.

I Am Old Enough To Remember When America's K-12 Public Schools Were The Best In The World. I Am A Proud Graduate Of Them, And I Credit Much Of My Success To What I Learned In Detroit Public Schools And At Michigan State University.

You Always Learn Lessons In Business.

I'd Rather Be Respected Than Loved.
