The real estate agent had to go door-to-door in the apartment building we wanted to rent asking if it was OK for this interracial family - my mom is white and I was a 1-year-old half-African kid - to live in the apartment building.

We never had it as rough as the kids have it today. Look at the price of a gallon of gas or a piece of real estate or a college education.

We are born weak we need strength helpless we need aid foolish we need reason. All that we lack at birth all that we need when we come to man's estate is the gift of education.

A Shakespearean tragedy as so far considered may be called a story of exceptional calamity leading to the death of a man in high estate. But it is clearly much more than this and we have now to regard it from another side.

The miser starving his brother's body starves also his own soul and at death shall creep out of his great estate of injustice poor and naked and miserable.

Death is not the end. There remains the litigation over the estate.

I would not change my blest estate for all the world calls good or great.

The idea that maybe you don't have to own a car if you only need one occasionally may catch on just like time-sharing caught on in real estate.

I'm lucky. The best possible place in the world for training is Addis Ababa so I am home all the time except when I am racing. I like to be there near my family my kids also the real estate business I run with my wife.

I don't want to get into the 'who's a hostage-taker' discussion here but what is the estate tax? It's a double tax on death. Economists will tell you that it's really not a tax that soaks the rich but it's a tax on capital that deprives business investment and therefore job creation.

To be successful in real estate you must always and consistently put your clients' best interests first. When you do your personal needs will be realized beyond your greatest expectations.

I write for no other purpose than to add to the beauty that now belongs to me. I write a book for no other reason than to add three or four hundred acres to my magnificent estate.

Goodness is beauty in the best estate.

To be able to sit in Donald Trump's apartment and talk about the future of corporate real estate was amazing.
