The two worst strategic mistakes to make are acting prematurely and letting opportunity slip; to avoid this, the warrior treats each situation as if it were unique and never resorts to formulae, recipes or other people's opinions.

Impact

I want to put a ding in the universe.

World View

Can I share my world view with you? All of humankind had one thing in common: the sandwich. I believe that all anyone really wants in this life is to sit in peace and eat a sandwich.

Authenticity

I had no idea being your authentic self could make me as rich as I've become. If I had, I'd done it a lot earlier.

A friendship founded on business is better than a business founded on friendship.

Pilgrim lives in lower Manhattan with his humans. He's a howler, not a barker.
