...never been very good at firing people. I've been always very loyal to people, and loyal to a fault when somebody was starting to do the wrong things. I just let those people be in the company way too long, until the problem became bigger.

I think Ann Richards, who died of cancer last week at age 73, was the greatest woman I have ever known. The former Governor of Texas was electrifying, brilliant, loyal, tolerant. She was also exhausting. I am surprised Ann stopped long enough to leave this world. She loved telling stories. One of her favorites was about taking her darling grandchild Lily to see the Queen of England. Later Ann asked Lily what she remembered. "The Queen had lipstick on her teeth!" said Lily...
