Ken Langone

You know, keep your word, work as hard as you can and give it all you got.

And by the golden rule, one of the things that...

I feel strongly about is I'm very forthright about my job because that's where it all started, that I had a good fortune.

I mean, this lovely lady, she was 16 and I was 18.

We got married, she was 18 and I was 20.

Almost 68 years later, we're still hanging around with each other.

That's pretty good.

What's the key to doing that well?

Have your fights, but never carry a grudge.

Don't go to bed pissed off.

We were two kids that truly loved each other, and the trauma and success wouldn't change us.

I hope it hasn't.

I urge my kids to be genuine, to be authentic.

That has to be very important, being authentic.

My loyalty, if I would like to be remembered for one thing, only one thing, I'd like to be remembered that I was a loyal friend, a loyal husband, a loyal father, whatever you want.

Loyalty isn't short supply.

And he is.

The world has become very transactional.

My epic battle with Elliott Spitzer, which I whipped his ass, I can tell you right now.

He ain't coming back for more, I can tell you right now.
