I think great businessmen are more likely made than born. I don't know if it's from your upbringing, your parental background, the struggles you go through.

So I think just getting out there, hands on, learning to survive teaches you a lot.

Richard Branson

Alex Jones

Joseph Delaney

...man can no more survive psychologically in a psychological milieu that does not respond empathetically to him, than he can survive physically in an atmosphere that contains no oxygen.

Heinz Kohut

I do not use airplanes. They strike me as unsporting. You can have an automobile accident-and survive. You can be on a sinking ship-and survive. You can be in an earthquake, fire, volcanic eruption, tornado, what you will-and survive. But if your plane crashes, you do not survive. And I say the heck with it.

Isaac Asimov
