Because any fool can overpay and buy a company, as long as money will last to buy it.  (Henry Kravis Quotes) If you don’t have integrity, you have nothing. You can’t buy it.

And I worked on Wall Street  (Henry Kravis Quotes) Whales who come up and spout off get harpooned  (Henry Kravis Quotes) Any fool can buy a company; just pay enough  (Henry Kravis Quotes) Going public is not a business plan  (Henry Kravis Quotes) If you don’t have integrity, you have nothing. You can’t buy it  (Henry Kravis Quotes) But once you buy a company, you are married. You are married to that company  (Henry Kravis Quotes) A real entrepreneur is somebody who has no safety net underneath them  (Henry Kravis Quotes) You only have one thing to sell in life, and that’s yourself  (Henry Kravis Quotes) If you have something at risk, you think differently  (Henry Kravis Quotes) 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  (Henry Kravis Quotes) And make sure that capital structure we have in place is the right capital structure. I think that’s the reason that we’ve been successful  (Henry Kravis Quotes) I want people who will stand up to me. People who are not afraid to say exactly what’s on their minds, even though that’s probably not what I want to hear. That’s what I want  (Henry Kravis Quotes) Look, don’t congratulate us when we buy a company, congratulate us when we sell it. Because any fool can overpay and buy a company, as long as money will last to buy it  (Henry Kravis Quotes) One, I love the creativity.

I’ve been in a hurry to succeed, and in a hurry to prove myself  (Henry Kravis Quotes) I thought at the time that I wanted to go into institutional sales, selling stocks and bonds to institutions. In those days, which was the 1960s, the institutional salesman was making about $100,000 a year. I thought that was just an enormous amount of money  (Henry Kravis Quotes) 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  (Henry Kravis Quotes) 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  (Henry Kravis Quotes)
