We've always been in favor of improved wages for workers. When you have a strong middle class, they want to buy more stuff at Costco.

It doesn't do much good to have a quality image, whether it's with the facility or whether it's with the merchandise, if you don't have real quality people taking care of your customers.

When employees are happy, they are your very best ambassadors.

I think the biggest single thing that causes difficulty in the business world is the short-term view. We become obsessed with it. But it forces bad decisions.

Our attitude is that if you hire good people and pay them a fair wage, then good things will happen for the company.

Obscene salaries send the wrong message through a company.

You destroy the initiative of the working people if they don't feel they have a fighting chance to be a part of the American Dream.

You just can't get too focused on worrying about what's going to happen in the next quarter. You have to worry about where the business is headed long-term.

If we take care of the business and keep our eye on the goal line, the stock price will take care of itself.

Paying good wages is not in opposition to good productivity.

If you've got to work for the rest of your life, you'd better do something you'll enjoy.

With time, scars turn into wisdom.

Heaven is a warm cat and a good book.

I'm OK being the veteran, but I'm still just a kid.

Truth is brighter than Light Falsehood darker than night Revenge is keener than Axe and Love is softer than melting wax

A good adaptation of your book is worth it because it is such a wonderful experience to see your world translated onto the screen.

What is right to be done cannot be done too soon.

I am young, it is true; but in noble souls valor does not wait for years.

An excellent man; he has no enemies; and none of his friends like him.

Gospel repentance is not a little hanging down of the head. It's a working of the heart until your sin becomes more odious to you than any punishment for it.

You just don't heal that easy unless you're young.
